FELLOWSHIPS IN THE HUMANITIES 2010-2011

The Newberry's fellowships support humanities research in our collections.  Our collections are wide-ranging, rich, and sometimes a little eccentric.  If you study the humanities, chances are good we have something for you.  We promise you remarkable collections; a lively interdisciplinary community of researchers; individual consultations on your research with staff curators, librarians, and scholars; and an array of scholarly and public programs.

SHORT-TERM FELLOWSHIPS

Ph.D. candidates and scholars with a doctorate are eligible for short-term travel-to-collections fellowships.  Their purpose is to help researchers study specific materials at the Newberry that are not readily available to them elsewhere.  Short-term fellowships are usually awarded for a period of one month. Most are restricted to scholars who live and work outside the Chicago area.  Stipends are $1600 per month.

NEW:   We invite short-term fellowship applications from teams of two or three scholars who plan to collaborate intensively on a single, substantive project.  The individual scholars on a team awarded a fellowship will each receive a full stipend of $1600 per month.  Teams should submit a single application, including cover sheets and CVs from each member.

Short-term applications are due March 1, 2010.

We also offer exchange fellowships with British, French and German institutions, a fellowship for American Indian women pursuing any post-graduate education, and a fellowship for published independent scholars.
