| Program supporting outstanding early-career humanistic scholars now welcomes applications for two-year posts with select ACLS Research Consortium Universities |
| The American Council of Learned Societies is pleased to announce the third and final round of the Emerging Voices Fellowship program. Following the success of the first two competitions of the program, which supports early-career scholars in the humanities and interpretive social sciences facing a challenging academic job market, both the competition and fellowship have been redesigned to best serve those who have received their doctorates just before or during the COVID-19 pandemic. “The Emerging Voices Fellowship has been distinguished for its rapid response approach in supporting new and recent PhDs during a time of great economic uncertainty,” noted ACLS President Joy Connolly. “In addition to providing funding to help strengthen humanistic disciplines, we have also incorporated feedback from scholars and partner institutions from the first two rounds on how best to use our resources to make the program a success for everyone involved.” For its final round of competition, the Emerging Voices Fellowship program invites applications from qualified PhDs whose voices, perspectives, and broad visions will strengthen institutions of higher education and humanistic disciplines in the years to come. Nominations are no longer required and will not be accepted. We welcome applications from scholars whose PhDs were conferred between January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2021. Students who anticipate receiving the PhD degree after December 31, 2021 are not eligible. Learn more in the Emerging Voices Fellowship FAQ. Scholars of color, from low-income and unconventional backgrounds, and those who have taken on extraordinary roles in graduate school (organizing public art exhibits, teaching in prison education programs, coordinating research groups, to name just a few), are especially encouraged to apply. The fellowship will now offer two-year in-person posts at participating institutions from the ACLS Research University Consortium during the 2022-23 and 2023-24 academic years. Applications are due Wednesday, January 12, 2022, 9 PM EST. Questions? Email us at EVFapplications@acls.org |
