[Commlist] Call for Applications: SoFCB Junior Fellows Program

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: SoFCB JUNIOR FELLOWS PROGRAM   Rare Book School’s 
Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography (SoFCB) 
invites applications for its 2025–27 cohort of Junior Fellows. The 
deadline is Friday, November 1, 2024.   This scholarly society works to 
advance the study of texts, images, and artifacts as material objects 
through capacious, interdisciplinary scholarship—and to enrich 
humanistic inquiry and education by identifying, mentoring, and training 
promising early-career scholars. Junior Fellows will be encouraged and 
supported in integrating the methods of critical bibliography into their 
teaching and research, fostering collegial conversations about 
historical and emerging media across disciplines and institutions, and 
sharing their knowledge with broader publics.   The fellowship includes 
tuition waivers for two Rare Book School courses, as well as funding for 
Junior Fellows to participate in the Society’s annual meeting and 
orientation. Additional funds are available for fellows to organize 
symposia at their home institutions, and fellows will have the option of 
attending a bibliographical field school to visit libraries, archives, 
and collections in a major metropolitan area. After completing two years 
in good standing as Junior Fellows, program participants will have the 
option to become Senior Fellows in the Society.   The Society is 
committed to supporting diversity and to advancing the scholarship of 
outstanding persons of every race, gender, sexual orientation, creed, 
and socioeconomic background, and to enhancing the diversity of the 
professions and academic disciplines it represents, including those of 
the professoriate, museums, libraries, archives, public humanities, and 
digital humanities. We warmly encourage prospective applicants from a 
wide range of disciplines, institutions, and areas of expertise.   For
