  • Fellowships

The John Carter Brown Library will award approximately thirty short- and long-term Research Fellowships for the period June 1, 2010–June 30, 2011. Short-term fellowships are available for periods of two to four months and carry a stipend of $2,000 per month. These fellowships are open to foreign nationals as well as to U.S. citizens who are engaged in pre- or post-doctoral, or independent, research. It is mandatory that graduate students pass their preliminary or general examinations before the application deadline and be at the dissertation-writing stage. Long-term fellowships are underwritten by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH); InterAmericas; Donald R. Saunders; and R. David Parsons. NEH recipients should either be U.S. citizens or resident in the U.S. for three years immediately preceding the application deadline. Long-term awards are five to ten months with a monthly stipend of $4,000. Applicants for long-term fellowships are required to have their Ph.D. before January 2010.

Research proposals must be suited to the holdings of the Library. The Library’s collection is focused on the history of the Western Hemisphere during the colonial period (1492 to ca. 1825), emphasizing the European discovery, exploration, settlement, and development of the Americas, the indigenous response to European conquest, the African contribution to the development of the hemisphere, and all aspects of European relations with the New World, including the impact of the New World on the Old. Several fellowships are restricted to particular areas of research. All fellows must relocate to Providence and be in continuous residence at the Library for the entire term of the fellowship. The Library maintains a comfortable residence nearby for its research fellows.

The application deadline for 2010–2011 fellowships is January 10, 2010. For application forms and further information, contact: The John Carter Brown Library, Box 1894, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912. http://www.jcbl.org [End Page 255]
