AY 2025-26 Residential Fellow

Description

The University of Connecticut Humanities Institute (UCHI) invites applications for 2025–26 residential fellowships.

During this time of global change and uncertainty, UCHI seeks to mobilize the humanities as a revitalizing force for our academic communities, national conversations, and global commitments. With year-long fellowships offering a $50,000 stipend, an office, and all the benefits of a R1 university, UCHI equips scholars to engage in these crucial undertakings and hone their research in a vibrant, interdisciplinary community of fellows. Fellows enjoy the full use of UConn’s research facilities, museums, archives, and special collections, as well as easy access to Hartford, Boston, and New York City. UCHI fosters a rich intellectual environment for scholars to create, connect, and recommit to the urgency of the humanities. Fellows are expected to participate in UCHI’s scholarly events, attend our grant workshops, and are required to give a public talk.

Fellowships are open to humanities researchers, including professors, independent scholars, writers, and museum and library professionals.

Application materials must be received by 11:59 pm (EST) on February 1, 2025.

Requirements

UCHI Visiting Scholar fellowships are intended for scholars with a significant record of scholarly accomplishment. Applicants with a Ph.D. or terminal degrees in their field must have held their advanced degree for at least four years. Independent scholars—such as writers, museum professionals, and artists—need not have a terminal degree to apply, but must have an advanced record of professional accomplishment, which does not include research and publications completed during graduate school. Independent scholars with terminal degrees must have held that degree for at least four years. Former UCHI fellows are welcome and eligible to apply for fellowships five academic years after completion of their UCHI fellowship (i.e. 2019-20 fellows are eligible to apply for 2025–26 fellowships).
