Harry Ransom Center Fellowship

Deadline: February 1 ($0)

The Harry Ransom Center is an internationally renowned humanities research library and museum, has announced its 2010-11 Research Fellowship program.

The Ransom Center annually awards fifty fellowships to support scholarly research projects in all areas of the humanities, including literature, photography, film, art, the performing arts, music, and cultural history. Applicants must demonstrate the necessity of substantial on-site use of the center’s collections.

One- to three-month fellowships of $3,000 per month are available for research in the center’s collections. A limited number of two- or three-month fellowships are available for projects requiring extensive work with Ransom Center collections.

Travel stipends of $1,200 to $1,700 each may be awarded to scholars with research projects that require less than one month’s research at the center. Awards of $1,200 are available for domestic U.S. travel and $1,700 for foreign travel. There is no specific required length of residency for travel stipends. Travel stipends may not be combined with other Ransom Center fellowships and are not available to graduate students.

Six dissertation fellowships of $1,600 each, jointly sponsored by the Ransom Center and the University of Texas at Austin Office of Graduate Studies, are designated for graduate students who are working on doctoral dissertations. Dissertation fellowship residencies must be taken up during the period from September 1, 2010, through August 31, 2011. There is not a specific required length of residency for dissertation fellowships.

All applicants, with the exception of applicants for dissertation fellowships, must be post-docs or independent scholars with a substantial record of achievement. United States citizens and foreign nationals are eligible to apply. Individuals who have previously received a Ransom Center fellowship are eligible to reapply after a year has passed.
