John Carter Brown Library Fellowship Program

Description

Fellowships are awarded to scholars to support dedicated research, either remotely or in residence, in the JCB's collections. Fellowship awards include a stipend, which varies for short and long-term fellowships. The short-term fellowship supports studies centered on the history of the colonial Americas, North and South, including all aspects of African, European, and Native American engagements in both global and comparative contexts. Short-term fellowships are open to individuals who are engaged in pre- and post-doctoral, or independent research, regardless of nationality. Some of the long-term fellowships are funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), an independent agency of the U.S. Federal government. Applicants of all nationalities, however, will be considered for long-term fellowships; fellowships funded by the NEH are only available to citizens of the United States or to those applicants residing in the U.S. for the three years preceding application. PhD candidates are welcome to apply for long-term fellowships if all degree requirements, including the successful defense of their dissertation, have been met by the application deadline. Short-term fellowship applicants must submit a 3-5 page narrative description of the proposed project, a current curriculum vitae, and two letters of recommendation. Long-term fellowship applicants must submit a narrative description, limited to 10 pages and in English, of the proposed project; a current curriculum vitae; and three letters of recommendation. Please visit the award's website for more information.
