Digital Humanities Fellowships

The American Philosophical Library welcomes applications for fellowships in the Digital Humanities. These one-month fellowships are open to scholars at all stages of their careers, including graduate students. Interested scholars may choose to submit proposals for projects that: 1) utilize the APS’s Library holdings to advance a digital component of an independent research project, or, 2) seek to apply existing tools and expertise to digital projects developed in collaboration with the Library’s Center for Digital Scholarship. Possible collaborative projects will focus on the Center’s Open Data Initiative and would explore data sets created from either a) the Benjamin Franklin postal records kept during his tenure as Postmaster of Colonial Philadelphia, 1748-1752, or b) datasets created from a stout volume of indenture records for servants and redemptioners coming through the port of Philadelphia during the 1770s. Applicants interested in working on these project need not have special expertise in early American history.

Stipend: $3,000 per month will be awarded to the successful applicant after their arrival at the Library.

Application Deadline: March 1, 2019. Notifications will be sent by mid-April.

Applicants: Use Interfolio's help desk for any issues pertaining to the online application process.

All application materials will be submitted online. Applicants must submit:

  • Cover letter
  • Curriculum vitae
  • Prospectus for a digital project
  • Examples of previous digital humanities projects (if available)
  • Two confidential letters of reference
  • Full details are available on the application webpage:
