The Center awards fellowships to support significant research and
writing about the Holocaust and welcomes proposals from scholars in
all relevant academic disciplines, including history, political
science, literature, Jewish studies, philosophy, religion, sociology,
anthropology, comparative genocide studies, law, and others.

Fellowships in residence are awarded to candidates working on their
dissertations (ABD), postdoctoral researchers, and senior scholars. A
principal focus of the program is to ensure the development of a new
generation of Holocaust scholars. To this end, scholars early in their
careers are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants must be
affiliated with an academic and/or research institution when applying
for a fellowship. Immediate post-docs and faculty between appointments
will also be considered.

The specific fellowship and the length of the award are at the
Center’s discretion. Individual awards generally range up to eight
consecutive months of residency; a minimum of three consecutive months
is required and no exceptions will be allowed. Fellowships of five
months or longer have proven most effective. Stipends range up to
$3,500 per month for the purpose of defraying local housing and other
miscellaneous living expenses. Residents of the Washington,
DC-metropolitan area receive a reduced stipend of $1,750 per month.
Please note that funds provided may be subject to tax.

Fellowship applications and supporting materials must be received by
November 30, 2013. Decisions will be announced in early April 2014.
All applications must be submitted in English via an online
application process. For complete fellowship competition guidelines
