Scholars who are no more than three years beyond receipt of the
doctorate are invited to apply for the Hench Post-Dissertation
Fellowship, a year-long residential fellowship at the American
Antiquarian Society. The purpose of the post-dissertation fellowship is
to provide the recipient with time and resources to extend research
and/or to revise the dissertation for publication. Any topic relevant to
the Society's library collections and programmatic scope, and coming
from any field or disciplinary background, is eligible. AAS collections
focus on all aspects of American history, literature, and culture from
contact to 1876, and provide rich source material for projects across
the spectrum of early American studies. Our holdings include many
collections that would be of use to environmental historians, including
maps; landscape drawings, paintings, and photographs; local histories;
and agricultural manuals and periodicals.
The Society welcomes applications from those who have advance book
contracts, as well as those who have not yet made contact with a
publisher. The twelve-month stipend for this fellowship is $35,000. The
Hench Post-Dissertation Fellow will be selected on the basis of the
applicant's scholarly qualifications, the appropriateness of the project
to the Society's collections and interests, and, above all, the
likelihood that the revised dissertation will make a highly significant
book.
Further information about the fellowship, along with application
materials, is available on the AAS website, at
http://www.americanantiquarian.org/post-diss.htm. Any questions
about the fellowship may be directed to Paul Erickson, Director of
Academic Programs at AAS, at
perickson@mwa.org.
The deadline for applications for a Hench Post-Dissertation Fellowship
to be held during the 2010-2011 academic year is October 15, 2009.
