Description
The University of Notre Dame’s Medieval Institute offers this annual fellowship to junior faculty scholars in all fields of Medieval Studies. Made possible through the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s response to a National Endowment for the Humanities challenge grant, the fellowship supports completion of research and writing on a book manuscript before tenure.
The nine-month academic-year residency carries no teaching responsibilities, allowing the fellow to focus on scholarship while participating in the Institute’s multidisciplinary intellectual life. Fellows receive research resources and substantive manuscript feedback. Toward the end of the residency, three senior scholars selected in cooperation with the Institute participate in a public seminar and closely read and discuss the fellow’s draft to help improve it before submission to a press.
