YIVO’s annual fellowships in Eastern European
and American Jewish History are now open for application. More information and
the online application form can be found here: https://yivo.org/List-of-Fellowships
Each year, YIVO awards a series of Max Weinreich
Center Research Fellowships for scholarly research in YIVO’s library and
archival collections. These fellowships are intended primarily, but not exclusively,
for graduate students and emerging scholars. Each fellowship requires a public
lecture by the holder, to be held during or immediately after the fellow’s
research period. Fellows are usually expected to spend
a period of four to six weeks in residence. This
can be divided into several research trips, in consultation with YIVO staff.
The Fellowship Application will require the
following information in pdf format: 1) Cover Letter 2) CV 3) 2-page project proposal,
stating specifically which YIVO holdings are most relevant to the applicant’s project.
4) Two letters of recommendation.
Announcements regarding awards for the academic
year beginning September 2016 will be made in February 2016. The deadline for
applications is January 15, 2016.
