Senior fellows may apply for a second fellowship appointment five years after their first successful application. Postdoctoral Fellows Program Fellowships are awarded to outstanding scholars of diverse countries of origin who have been awarded the Ph.D. or equivalent within the previous five years. Postdoctoral Fellowships run for one year, from September 1 through August 31, and may be extended for a second and final year at the discretion of the Dibner Institute. Fellowships provide office space, support facilities, and full privileges at the Burndy Library and at the libraries of consortium universities. Fellows will have access to the entire spectrum of activities that take place at the Dibner Institute, where they will be able to collaborate in an atmosphere of collegiality and find the resources and appropriate settings to carry on their work.
Funds are available for housing, living expenses, and one round-trip fare for international fellows.
Estimates of costs, as well as the average stipend are provided with the application forms. Fellowship recipients will be announced in March 2001.
