The Newberry Library, an independent research library in Chicago,
Illinois, invites applications for its 2006-07 Fellowships in the
Humanities. Newberry Library fellowships support research in residence
at the Library. All proposed research must be appropriate to the
collections of the Newberry Library. Our fellowship program rests on
the belief that all projects funded by the Newberry benefit from
engagement both with the materials in the Newberry's collections and
with the lively community of researchers that gathers around those
collections. Long-term residential fellowships are available to
postdoctoral scholars for periods of six to eleven months. Applicants
for postdoctoral awards must hold the Ph.D. at the time of
application. The stipend for these fellowships is up to $40,000.
Short-term residential fellowships are intended for postdoctoral
scholars or Ph.D. candidates from outside of the Chicago area who have
a specific need for Newberry collections. Scholars whose principal
residence or place of employment is within the Chicago area are not
eligible. The tenure of short-term fellowships varies from one week
to two months. The amount of the award is generally $1200 per
month. Applications for long-term fellowships are due January 10,
2006; applications for most short-term fellowships are due March 1,
2006. For more information or to download application materials,
