Appel à candidature « Long-term Fellowships, Newberry Library, Chicago »

Long-term fellowships are available to post-doctoral scholars who want to be in residence at the Newberry for periods of four to twelve months. Applicants for post-doctoral awards must hold a PhD at the time of application (unless otherwise noted). These grants support individual research and promote serious intellectual exchange through active participation in the Newberry’s scholarly activities, including a biweekly fellows’ seminar. The stipends for these fellowships are $4,200 per month; awardees must indicate in their applications how many months they intend to be in residence at the Newberry. Applicants may combine these fellowship awards with sabbatical or other stipendiary support. Scholars may apply for any of the long-term fellowships using the same application. Each fellowship has specific eligibility requirements. Preference is given to applicants who have not held major fellowships for three years preceding the proposed period of residency. Please read the individual descriptions carefully to determine eligibility and refer to Eligibility and Application Information. Applications which do not meet the eligibility requirements for at least one of these awards will not be considered.

Applications must be received electronically by December 1, 2012, 11:59 pm C.S.T. (unless otherwise noted). This includes the applicant’s own materials and all letters of reference. For more information, go to http://www.newberry.org/long-term-fellowships
