Through the generous support of the National Endowment for the Humanities the Center for Jewish History invites applications for an NEH Scholar in Residence that will support original research conducted at the Center.  Applications are welcome from scholars working in a broad range of fields within the humanities and social sciences. The application deadline is December 15, 2021 for a residency from July 2022 through June 2023.

Applications are welcome from scholars in any field who have completed a PhD more than six years prior to the start of the fellowship and whose research will benefit considerably from consultation with materials in the collections of the Center’s partners – American Jewish Historical Society, American Sephardi Federation, Leo Baeck Institute, Yeshiva University Museum, and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research.

Fellowships carry a stipend of $60,000. Fellows are expected to conduct original research at the Center, deliver at least one public program based on the research conducted, and actively participate in the scholarly community at the Center. Fellows must acknowledge the Center and the National Endowment for the Humanities in all publications resulting from research completed during the fellowship and submit a report upon completion of the fellowship describing the experience.
