Description:

This nine-month fellowship is intended for a recent doctoral graduate,
a professor at any level seeking sabbatical support for a research
project, or an independent postdoctoral scholar working closely with
an Indigenous community on a project. Applications are open to
scholars in any field and all periods of time. Preference will be
given to those who have sustained personal engagement or experience
with Indigenous communities. We particularly encourage applications
from tribal college or university faculty, and members of Indigenous
communities. The caliber of the project is the most important criteria
for evaluation. The selection committee will also take into
consideration the need to be at the APS's Library & Museum and other
research institutions in the Philadelphia area.

A stipend of $50,000 for nine months will be awarded to the successful
applicant, who will also have desk space at the American Philosophical
Society. In addition, the postdoctoral fellow will receive $5,000 in
travel funds for outside research, fieldwork, and/or travel, $750
relocation cost, and will receive $20,000 to offset health insurance
costs. Fellows will also partake in the intellectual life of the
Society and have opportunities to receive professional development,
including works-in-progress seminars, a manuscript workshop, career
mentoring, and conference participation.
