Rare
Book School welcomes applications to the Andrew
W. Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in Critical Bibliography. The aim of this
Mellon Foundation-funded fellowship program is to reinvigorate bibliographical
studies within the humanities by introducing doctoral candidates, postdoctoral
fellows, and junior faculty to specialized skills, methods, and professional
networks for conducting advanced research with material texts. RBS selected its
first twenty Mellon Fellows in the spring of 2013, and will admit an additional
twenty fellows to the program in the spring of 2014.
Fellows will receive funding for Rare Book School course attendance, as well as generous stipends, and support for research-related travel to special collections, over the course of three years. Weeklong intensive courses offered at Rare Book School include: "The History of the Book in America, c.1700-1830," taught by James N. Green of the Library Company of Philadelphia; "The History of European & American Papermaking," co-taught by 2009 MacArthur Fellow Timothy Barrett of the University of Iowa, and John Bidwell of the Morgan Library & Museum; and "The History of the Book in America: A Survey from Colonial to Modern," taught by Michael Winship of the University of Texas at Austin.
The deadline for application to the program is DECEMBER 2, 2013. Applicants must be doctoral candidates (post-qualifying exams), postdoctoral fellows, or junior (untenured) faculty in the humanities at a U.S. institution at time of application. Interested scholars are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. For more details, please visit: http://www.rarebookschool.org/fellowships/mellon
