The Institute for Research in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is offering the Solmsen Fellowship.

Through a generous bequest from Friedrich and Lieselotte Solmsen, the Institute offers five to six Solmsen Fellowships each year to scholars outside UW-Madison working in the humanities on European history and culture in the classical, medieval, and/or early modern periods before 1700. Fellows are expected to be in residence throughout the academic year (except for short research trips, lectures, conferences, etc.) and may extend their residency through the following summer on a non-stipendary basis. Fellows are expected to present their work at an Institute seminar and participate in the weekly seminars. Applicants must be in possession of the doctorate at the time of application. For the 2017-2018 fellowship year, the award provides a stipend of $55,000, office space, support services, and access to all university facilities.

Applications are due November 1. Notification of awards will be in mid to late March.
