Newberry Library Fellowship in the Humanities

Short-Term Fellowships are available to postdoctoral scholars, PhD candidates, or those who hold other terminal degrees. Unless otherwise noted, applicants must live and work outside of the Chicago area. Applicants must have a specific need for the Newberry’s collection and are required to spend the tenure of the fellowship in residence. The length of a Short-Term Fellowship is one continuous month, but scholars who have an extensive need for the collections may request up to two months. The stipend is $2,500 per month. For more information, including a list of available Short-Term Fellowships, please visit www.newberry.org/short-term-fellowships.

The John Rylands Research Institute Exchange Fellowship

This fellowship provides two months of support, one for work at the Newberry and another for work at the John Rylands Library in Manchester, England. The proposed project must link the collections of both libraries; applicants should plan to hold the two fellowships sequentially to ensure continuity of research. All application materials should be submitted to the Newberry, but applications will be reviewed by both institutions. The stipend is $2,500 per month at the Newberry, £1,500 at the John Rylands Library, plus an additional $1,000 (or the equivalent in English pounds) for travel.
