The USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research invites applications from senior scholars for its 2026-2027 Center Research Fellowship.
The fellowship provides $30,000 (one semester) support and will be awarded to an outstanding senior scholar from any discipline who will advance genocide research through the use of the Visual History Archive and other unique USC resources. The recipient will be required to spend the Fall or Spring semester in residence at the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research in Los Angeles during the 2026-2027 academic year. The chosen fellow will be expected to provide the Center with fresh research perspectives, to play a role in Center activities, and to give a public talk during his or her stay.
Award decisions for this fellowship will be based on the originality of the research proposal, its potential to advance research within the field of Holocaust and genocide studies, the distinguished achievements of the candidate, and the centrality of USC resources to the project.
Founded in 2014, the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research distinguishes itself from other Holocaust and genocide research institutes by offering access to unique research resources and by focusing its research efforts on the interdisciplinary study of currently under-researched areas.
