Documentary Studies Ph.D. Fellowships: Request for Proposals 2023-24

Opportunity

The Center for Documentary Studies has funds to support a small number of Ph.D. student fellows for the fall and spring of 2023-2024 to pursue research related to documentary studies.

Eligibility

Duke Ph.D. students in any humanities or social science program, whose research engages with documentary studies, broadly conceived

Terms

Students may apply for either a two-semester or one-semester fellowship.

Each two-semester fellowship pays a $28,950 stipend, at $3,216.67 per month from September through May, replacing departmental funding for that period.

A semester-long fellowship will pay the monthly stipend of $3,216.67 for each month of the semester, again replacing departmental funding for the fellowship period.

Holders of the fellowship do not take on RA or TA assignments, but rather focus on dissertation-related research and other aspects of professional development.
