The New York Public Library is seeking applications for Short Term Research Fellowships to support scholars from outside the New York metropolitan area engaged in graduate-level, post-doctoral, and independent research.
Individuals needing to conduct on-site research in the Library’s special collections to support projects in the arts and humanities are welcome to apply. Preference is given to scholars whose work is based on materials in the NYPL research and special collections, especially when those materials are unique. Fellowships are normally not granted to scholars who live within commuting distance of the library.
Each fellow is expected to be in residence at the library for the duration of their fellowship, during the period from June 1, 2015 through May 30, 2016, and each fellow will be expected to produce a written summary of his/her experience working with the collections.
Fellowship stipends are $1,000 per week for a minimum of two and maximum of four weeks. The application deadline is January 16, 2015.
