The Aleksander and Alicja Hertz Memorial Fellowship supports doctoral or post-doctoral research on Polish-Jewish history in the modern period, particularly Jewish-Polish relations, including the Holocaust period, and Jewish contributions to Polish literature and culture. These fellowships carry a stipend and are for a period of three months of research at the YIVO Library and Archives, as well as a public lecture by the holder. Applicants must submit a cover letter, where they can introduce themselves and their project, and specify the fellowship for which they wish to apply. Applicants must also submit a summary of their research plan, specifying those YIVO resources that they intend to utilize. Then, applicants must provide the name and e-mail address of two academic references. They will receive an e-mail with information on how to upload a letter of reference. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research for more information.
