[Commlist] call for applications: junior fellows program, the andrew w. mellon society of fellows in critical bibliography

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: JUNIOR FELLOWS PROGRAM


Rare Book School’s Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical 
Bibliography (SoFCB) invites applications for its 2020–21 cohort of 
junior fellows. The deadline is 1 November 2019.

Continuing the work of the Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship in Critical 
Bibliography (2012–17), 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.
