Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies

The Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, in collaboration with The Huntington Library, annually offers the ACMRS-Huntington Library Fellowship to aid in dissertation, postdoctoral, or faculty research using the collections of The Huntington.

A requirement for holding the fellowship is that the time of tenure be spent in residence at The Huntington: the period of residence may vary, but must be a minimum of one month. The Huntington Library welcomes the annual ACMRS fellow with a $3,500 award for a one-month residency.

Qualifications
Applicants must be faculty members, postdoctoral students, or graduate students having advanced to candidacy at ASU, NAU, or UA.

Application Instructions
Applications should consist of a curriculum vitae, contact information for two references, and a 1,250-1500-word description of the research project, which must reference the relevant Huntington materials for your project and should include a brief approximate budget for how the funds will be used. For graduate students, one of your references must be from your doctoral advisor or chair.

Note: Applicants for the ACMRS fellowship are also welcome to apply to supplement the ACMRS-Huntington Library Fellowship with a short-term award from The Huntington Library itself under the terms of its own fellowship competition. See The Huntington's website for more information. For questions or queries about this supplemental award, please contact Catherine Wehrey-Miller, Assistant to the Director of Research at the Huntington.
