The National Humanities Center invites applications for
academic-year or one-semester residential fellowships. Mid-career,
senior, and emerging scholars with a strong record of
peer-reviewed work from all areas of the humanities are encouraged
to apply. Each year, the Center also offers the Philip L. Quinn
Fellowship to an early-career female in philosophy.
Scholars from all parts of the globe are eligible; stipends and
travel expenses are provided. Fellowship applicants must have a
PhD or equivalent scholarly credentials. Fellowships are supported
by the Center’s own endowment, private foundation grants,
contributions from alumni and friends, and the National Endowment
for the Humanities.
Located in the vibrant Research Triangle region of North Carolina,
the Center affords access to the rich cultural and intellectual
communities supported by the area’s research institutes,
universities, and dynamic arts scene. Fellows enjoy private
studies, in-house dining, and superb library services that deliver
all research materials.
