Expanding the Reach of Doctoral Education in the Humanities
The American Council of Learned Societies invites applications for the third competition of the Public Fellows program. The program will place 20 recent humanities Ph.D.s in two- year staff positions at partnering organizations in government and the nonprofit sector.
This career-launching initiative aims to demonstrate that the capacities developed in the
advanced study of the humanities have wide application, both within and beyond the
academy.
