The Institute for Historical Studies at the University of Texas at Austin welcomes applications for one semester and full year residential fellowships from junior, mid-career, and senior faculty. The theme for 2011-12 is “Power and Place,” and fellows are sought whose work explores the theme in a wide variety of creative ways, conceptual as well as geographical. Tenured faculty who become fellows will receive a yearly stipend equal to half their salary, up to $50,000. Postdoctoral and independent scholars who become fellows will receive a $40,000 yearly stipend and medical insurance. The application deadline is January 15, 2011. For details more information and how to apply, see the resident fellows page online.
