Gonville & Caius College intends to elect two Research Fellows in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences in 2024. Candidates should be postgraduate students or post-doctoral researchers who will either be in their final year of doctoral research or not more advanced than one year since the first submission of their PhD. Research Fellowships are awarded to individuals with an exceptionally strong academic record who have produced innovative doctoral research in any branch of the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences.
Researchers with long-term fellowships spend four to nine months immersed in the Newberry collection and in our community of learning. While pursuing significant works of scholarship, they make discoveries, present works in progress, and take their projects to the next level.
National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowships
The Lady Davis Fellowship Trust was established 49 years ago in 1973 to provide an opportunity for Visiting Professors, Post-Doctoral Researchers and Doctoral Students from abroad, regardless of nationality, gender or field of scholarship to teach, study and participate in research in Israel at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and at the Technion Institute of Technology in Haifa.
The Lady Davis Trust offers two different Fellowships:
What is a Distinguished NIAS-Lorentz Fellowship?
The Distinguished NIAS-Lorentz Fellowship (DNLF) is awarded annually to a leading researcher to work on innovative research that bridges the humanities and/or social sciences with the natural and/or technological sciences. Distinguished NIAS-Lorentz Fellows are nominated by prominent figures from within the Dutch academic community. The NIAS-Lorentz Fellowship Board evaluates the DNLF nominations.
The Blinken OSA Archivum invites applications for the Visegrad Scholarship at OSA twice a year, in July and in November. The calls are published on this page. More information about the application process can be found below.
The application deadline of the current call is: 23:59 PM, July 25, 2025.
The fellowship year normally lasts from August 20 to May 15. Fellowships may also be given for either fall or spring, though applicants who are available for the entire year are strongly favored. All fellows are expected to be free of commitments that would prevent them from devoting themselves full time to the work outlined in their proposal and to live in residence within five miles of the Yale campus.
The quality, significance, and focus of the work fellows propose to do during the residency are of paramount importance in the selection process. Each fellow will undertake a substantive and original project that relates to the mission of the Institute. This could be original scholarship, an art exhibition, a musical composition, or work of creative writing, etc.
In conjunction with the Rice Seminars, the Humanities Research Center at Rice University hosts yearlong residential fellowships for outstanding junio scholars. The Rice Seminars are designed to promote humanistic research, broadly understood. They bring together a select group of Rice faculty members, visiting faculty, and Rice graduate students to study a common theme from several disciplinary perspectives.
The Ho Center for Buddhist Studies at Stanford invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship. The Center will award one fellowship every two years.
