About this research fellowship

The Newberry's Long-Term Fellows spend four to nine months at the library working on a large project, such as a book manuscript, that draws directly on its collections. Fellows take part in the weekly colloquium and the activities of the Newberry's research centres. The stipend is US$5,000 a month, and applications go through SlideRoom.
