Humanities Institute - Huntington Library Fellowship

The Humanities Institute, in collaboration with The Huntington Library, will offer the Humanities Institute-Huntington Library Fellowship to aid in dissertation, post-doctoral or faculty research using the collections of The Huntington. A requirement for holding the fellowship is that the time of tenure be spent in residence at The Huntington: the period of residence may vary, but must be a minimum of one month. The Huntington Library welcomes the annual Humanities Institute fellow with a $4,000 award for a one-month residency.  

Eligibility
Applicants must be faculty members, post-doctoral students, or graduate students at ASU working on a scholarly project served by The Huntington Library collections

Application instructions
Applications should consist of a curriculum vitae, two references, and a 1000-word description of the research project, which must reference the relevant Huntington materials (350 words) for your project and an outline of the plan of work for the fellowship period (350 words). For graduate students, one of your references must be from your doctoral advisor or chair.

Because there will only be one Humanities Institute-Huntington Library Fellow awarded, we encourage applicants to apply to both The Huntington directly (deadline November 15) and to the joint Humanities Institute-Huntington Library Fellowship internal fellowship (deadline December 10). 

Applicants for the Humanities Institute Fellowship are also welcome to apply to supplement that award with a short-term award from The Huntington Library itself under the terms of its own fellowship competition. See The Huntington website for more information. For questions or queries about this supplemental award, please contact the Fellowships Program Coordinator Krystle Satrum.
