The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), with financial support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, announces competitions for:
Stipends are $9,000 for dissertations and $16,000 for postdoctoral work. Fellowships are intended to release recipients from teaching and other duties for an academic year to permit full-time for research and writing. (They may be used to “buy time.”).
Approximately 40 fellowships will be awarded annually in all five countries combined. Awards will be decided by an international committee of distinguished humanities scholars.
