The Hybrid Fellowships, offered by the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum under the Broadening Academia Initiative, are designed to support Holocaust scholars who are untenured, contingent, or working outside of academia. Fellows receive six months of remote access to the Museum’s digitized archival collections and are invited for one week of in-person research at the David and Fela Shapell Family Collections, Conservation and Research Center. The fellowship aims to foster the production of new Holocaust scholarship and integrate fellows into the Mandel Center’s programming and scholarly community. Fellows are expected to present their research findings to the Center at the end of their fellowship.
