Short-Term Fellowships and Travel Grants
International Center for Jefferson Studies
and
The Digital Archaeological Archive of Comparative Slavery
The Thomas Jefferson Foundation, which owns and operates Thomas
Jefferson's historic home at Monticello, is pleased to announce a
program of short-term residential fellowships and travel grants at its
International Center for Jefferson Studies open to all scholars working
on Jefferson projects. A subset of these fellowships is given to
archaeologists whose work engages with the Digital Archaeological
Archive of Comparative Slavery (www.daacs.org). Foreign nationals are
particularly encouraged to apply.
Short-term fellowships are awarded for periods of up to four months to
doctoral candidates and postdoctoral scholars from any country. Awards
carry a stipend of $1,500 for United States and Canadian fellows plus
pre-approved round-trip airfare, and $2,000 for overseas fellows plus
airfare. Residential accommodation may be available on a limited basis.
Fellows are expected to be in residence at the Center during the course
of the fellowship, and no awards are made for work carried on elsewhere.
Fellows have access to Monticello's expert staff and research holdings
as well as to the extensive resources of the Alderman Library at the
University of Virginia. ICJS/DAACS fellows will be provided with
workspace in the DAACS archaeology laboratory as well as access to
computers and Archive staff.
Applicants should submit four copies of (1) a succinct description of
the research project, including how Archive data will be used
(500-words), and (2) a curriculum vitae. In addition, please arrange for
three references to be sent directly to the Center at the address below.
