Comments: Humane Studies Fellowships are awarded by the Institute for Humane Studies (IHS) to students interested in exploring the principles, practices, and institutions necessary for a free society through their academic work. IHS began the program in 1983 as the Claude R. Lambe Fellowships and in 2009 awarded more than 165 fellowships ranging from $2,000 to $15,000.
Deadline: January 2, 2012
Length: One year
Five College Fellowships offer year-long residencies for doctoral students
completing dissertations. The program supports scholars from under-represented
groups and/or scholars with unique interests and histories whose engagement in
the Academy will enrich scholarship and teaching. This year we expect to award
four fellowships for 2012-13.
Each Fellow will be hosted within an appropriate department or program at
Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College or Smith College. (At
Smith, recipients hold a Mendenhall Fellowship.) Applications are to the
program, not to a specific hosting campus.
This is a residential fellowship. Fellows are provided research and
teaching mentors and connected through the consortial office to resources and
scholars across the five campuses, which include UMass Amherst. The office also
supports meetings of the Fellows throughout the year.
The fellowship includes a $30,000 stipend, a research grant, health
benefits, office space, housing or housing assistance, and library privileges
at all five campuses belonging to the consortium.
While the award places primary emphasis on completion of the dissertation,
most fellows teach at their hosting institution, but never more than a single
one-semester course.
To apply: Application is online through the Human Resources
office at Smith College, which has agreed to administer this search on behalf
of the Consortium.
