Description
This annual fellowship, hosted by the Medieval Institute at the University of Notre Dame, is designed for junior faculty (assistant professors) at U.S. universities working in any field of Medieval Studies. The fellowship provides a nine-month, in-residence research opportunity with the goal of supporting the completion of a book manuscript prior to tenure review. Fellows participate fully in the intellectual life of the Institute, receive access to extensive research resources, and conclude their residency by presenting their work at a half-day conference with feedback from senior scholars.
