American Philosophical Society Fellowship

Library Resident Research Fellowship at the American Philosophical Society

Scope
The Library Resident Research fellowships support research in the Society's collections. We are a leading international center for research in the history of American science and technology and its European roots, as well as early American history and culture.

Eligibility
Applicants must demonstrate a need to work in the Society’s collections for a minimum of one month and a maximum of three months. Applicants in any relevant field of scholarship may apply. Candidates whose normal place of residence is farther away than a 75-mile radius of Philadelphia will be given some preference. Applicants do not need to hold the doctorate, although Ph.D. candidates must have passed their preliminary examinations.

Stipend
$2,000 per month.

Deadline
The deadline for submission of all materials, including letters of support, is March 1, 2010.
