School of American Research (SAR)- Resident Scholar Fellowships
Amount:
Resident scholars are provided with an apartment and office on campus, a stipend up to $30,000, a small reference library and library assistance, and other benefits during a nine-month tenure, Sept. 1 through May 31.
Purpose:
To support scholars and those publishing original research that contributes to a better understanding of human culture, evolution, and behavior.
Summary:
Resident Scholar Fellowships are awarded each year by the School of American Research (SAR) to six scholars who have completed their research and analysis and who need time to think and write about topics important to the understanding of humankind. The program supports scholars whose work is broad, synthetic, and interdisciplinary. Applicants research should promise to yield significant advances in understanding human culture, behavior, history, or evolution. Projects that are narrowly focused geographically and theoretically or that are primarily methodological seldom receive strong consideration. Each year the program supports a mix of scholars with scientific and humanistic orientations. Preference is given to applicants whose fieldwork or basic research and analysis are complete and who need time to write manuscripts. The fellowships are not intended as postdoctoral positions, and dissertation rewrites are not encouraged. An average of one predoctoral fellowship is awarded each year, and each year's class of fellows may include scholars at various stages of their careers. Three types of fellowships are available:
- National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship: Up to three positions are offered to scholars who hold a Ph.D. at the time of application and whose work falls within the humanities. These fellowships are subject to availability of funding.
- Weatherhead Fellowships: Two positions are available for either pre or postdoctoral scholars whose work is either humanistic or scientific in nature.
- Katrin H. Lamon Fellowship: This position is open to a Native American Scholar, either pre or postdoctoral.
Deadline: November 15; Awards announced in March.
