The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies is now accepting applications for the 2012-13 fellowship competition.
The Center awards fellowships to candidates working on their dissertations (ABD), postdoctoral researchers, and senior scholars. Applicants must be affiliated with an academic and/or research institution; the Center will also consider immediate post-docs and faculty between appointments.
The specific fellowship and the length of the award are at the Center’s discretion. Individual awards generally range up to nine months of residency; a minimum of three consecutive months is required. Fellowships of five months or longer have proven most effective. Stipends range up to $3,500 per month for the purpose of defraying local housing and other miscellaneous living expenses. Residents of the Washington, DC–metropolitan area receive a reduced stipend of $1,750 per month.
All applications and supporting materials must be submitted electronically and in English by February 17, 2012. The Center will announce its decisions in May 2012.
