Opportunity description
The National Humanities Center Fellowship year offers a remarkable opportunity for significant advancement in scientific projects, communication, and the exchange of ideas with other scholars, as well as a chance to rejuvenate through a break from the demands of regular academic life, allowing for deep thought and reflection.
Fellows arrive each year at the beautiful glass and brick building of the National Humanities Center, quickly feeling at home in their individual studies overlooking the pine forest in Carolina. These spacious offices provide an ideal environment for reading, thinking, and writing in peace. When fellows wish to change their setting, there are numerous areas inside and outside the building that accommodate solitary work or meetings with other scholars.
Benefits
- The stipend amounts awarded are individually determined, according to the needs of the Fellow and the Center’s ability to meet them. The Center seeks to provide half salary with the expectation that the Fellow’s home institution covers the remaining salary. Other grants or institutional support that Fellows will receive during their fellowship may also reduce the amount of the Center’s stipend.
Eligibility criteria
- Applicants must have a doctorate or equivalent scholarly credentials.
- Mid-career and senior scholars are encouraged to apply. Emerging scholars with a strong record of peer-reviewed work may also apply. The Center does not support the revision of doctoral dissertations.
- In addition to all fields of the humanities, the Center accepts applications from scholars in the natural and social sciences, the arts, the professions, and public life who are engaged in humanistic projects.
