Description
Fordham University’s Jewish Studies Program and The New York Public Library jointly offer short-, mid-, and long-term research fellowships for scholars in all fields of Jewish Studies. The fellowships support on-site work with NYPL collections, especially those of the Dorot Jewish Division. Projects must demonstrate how materials held only at NYPL are essential to advancing and completing the proposed research.
The program connects library-based research with Fordham’s academic community. Fellows receive a Fordham University affiliation for their fellowship period, identify faculty with whom to liaise, and share their work through a public presentation and a faculty seminar. The Dorot Jewish Division supports research across Jewish history, culture, languages, literature, and religious denominations.
