Through a generous bequest from Friedrich and Lieselotte Solmsen, the Institute for Research in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, offers three one-year Solmsen Postdoctoral Fellowships to scholars from other universities working on literary and historical studies of the European Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance periods up to about the year 1700, awarded through an annual competition. Applicants must be in possession of the doctorate at the time of application. Applications are due on October 15. The award this year is $40,000 for the academic year. For more information on the Solmsen Postdoctoral Fellowships, visit the Research Support section of the institute’s web site, or check out the application form online.
