The Medieval Institute at the University of Notre Dame offers this annual, nine-month fellowship for junior scholars researching the Byzantine world. The successful applicant becomes a Postdoctoral Research Associate, pursuing innovative scholarship toward publication or the development of new subject areas. Projects may include completing book manuscripts or articles, preparing text editions, or establishing new research trajectories using the Milton V. Anastos Collection, the Medieval Institute, and the Hesburgh Library.
