NATIONAL HUMANITIES CENTER FELLOWSHIP 2021-2022: CANADA

Deadline: 7 October 2020

stipend: $65.000

Descriptive

The National Humanities Center welcomes fellowship applications from scholars engaged in advanced humanities research regardless of citizenship or national origin. Each year, several scholars from countries other than the United States come to the Center, in North Carolina, as part of the cohort of Fellows and contribute to the rich intellectual and diverse environment of the fellowship program.

Each year, the National Humanities Center welcomes scholars from across the humanities and all over the world. During their time in residence, Fellows are given the freedom to work on their projects while benefiting from the exceptional services of the Center. The stunning Archie K. Davis building offers private studies, light-filled common areas, and verdant grounds. The Center also provides scholars with exceptional library services, breakfasts, and lunches in the dining area, and administrative support in organizing seminars and study groups.

Eligibility

Applicants must have a doctorate or equivalent scholarly credentials. Mid-career and senior scholars are encouraged to apply. Emerging scholars with a strong record of peer-reviewed work may also apply. The Center does not support the revision of doctoral dissertations.

In addition to scholars from all fields of the humanities, the Center accepts individuals from the natural and social sciences, the arts, the professions, and public life who are engaged in humanistic projects. For more details on eligibility see the section on the Sponsor’s website. 

Benefits

The stipend amounts for Fellows are individually determined, according to the needs of the scholars and the Center’s ability to meet them. Fellowships are supported by the Center’s own endowment, private foundation grants, contributions from alumni and friends, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

How to Apply

The Vice-President (Research) encourages nominations for this prestigious award, and will serve as nominator for those nominees recommended by the Honours and Awards Advisory Committee. If you wish to nominate a colleague or to be considered for VPR nomination, please submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to [email protected] by the internal deadline. 

An Expression of Interest will include:

  • A draft letter (two-three pages) addressed to the VPR, signed by your ADR, which outlines how you/your nominee meets the criteria outlined on the program website; and
  • An up-to-date CV for nominee (and each member of the team, if applicable).

As this is an international prize, the University may engage the Global Excellence Initiative to coordinate external review of nominations. 

​If your nomination will be submitted by a different nominee, and therefore does not require the Vice-President’s endorsement, please submit an OR-5 to [email protected] and complete the application by the external deadline.
