Biruté Ciplijauskaité Postdoctoral Fellowships in Peninsular Spanish Literature and Culture at Wisconsin-Madison University
The Institute for Research in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin–Madison is pleased to announce that it will offer one Biruté Ciplijauskaité Fellowship for the 2025-2026 academic year, to be awarded to a scholar from outside the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The fellowship may be renewable for a second year. Thanks to a generous bequest by the late Biruté Ciplijauskaité, John Bascom Professor Emerita in the Department of Spanish & Portuguese and a Senior Fellow of IRH, the fellowship is available to a scholar with a Ph.D. (at any stage of career), working in Spanish literary and cultural studies of the Iberian Peninsula. We are especially interested in scholars working on peninsular Spanish poetry. The Ciplijauskaité Fellowship does not typically support editions, anthologies, or translations.
The award provides a stipend of $60,000, office space, limited support services, and access to university facilities (libraries). All IRH fellowships are residential. Ciplijauskaité Fellows are required to live in Madison, Wisconsin throughout the academic year to ensure their active participation in the intellectual and social life at IRH (alternatively, fellows must demonstrate to the Institute’s satisfaction the ability to be on campus daily and at short notice). Fellows may extend their residency through the summer on a non-stipendiary basis. However, the fellowship may not be deferred for any reason.
The application cycle for 2025-2026 fellowships is now open. Applications are due by Thursday, October 24, 2024. The final notification of the awards will be sent in late February/early March.
