University of Wisconsin-Madison Institute for Research in the Humanities (IRH) seeks applications for research fellowship appointments. Fellowships are awarded across the spectrum of subjects and disciplines in the humanities on the basis of the significance of the proposed research and the promise of the applicant.

The Institute provides office space for faculty in residence in Madison or commuting to Madison on a regular basis (space permitting), support services, and access to all University of Wisconsin-Madison facilities.

Fellows are expected to participate in the intellectual life of the Institute by attending the weekly Monday afternoon seminars.  Fellows are also invited to present their work at a seminar, schedule permitting.  Fellows are also encouraged to join the informal daily lunches at the Institute, as well as to attend other Institute events, as time and interest permits. 

Program Deadline: TBA for 2012-2013

Applicants must first submit the proposal to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs for internal review and confirmation of match commitment.  The Institute's fellowships for University of Wisconsin System faculty provide only nominal funds toward course release.  Interested applicants must coordinate an institutional match with their Department and/or College.  Sabbatical award recipients are encouraged to apply and may be given preference during campus review of proposals.
