OBJECTIVES: The sponsor offers a two-year postdoctoral
fellowship in any area of early American studies, to begin July 1,
2011. The Institute's scope encompasses the history and cultures of
North America's indigenous and immigrant peoples during the colonial,
Revolutionary, and early national periods of the United States and the
related histories of Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America, the British
Isles, Europe, and Africa, from the sixteenth century to approximately
1815. Fellows devote most of their time to research and writing,
work closely with the editorial staff, and participate in colloquia
and other scholarly activities of the Institute.

ELIGIBILITY
A principal criterion for selection is that the candidate's
dissertation or other manuscript have significant potential as a
distinguished, book-length contribution to scholarship. Applicants may
not have previously published or have under contract a scholarly
monograph, and they must have met all requirements for the doctorate
before commencing the fellowship. Those who have earned the Ph.D. and
begun careers are also encouraged to apply. The award is open to all
eligible persons equally. Foreign nationals must have lived in the
United States for the three years immediately preceding the date of
the fellowship award in order to receive NEH funding.

FUNDING
In addition to a beginning stipend of $50,400, the fellowship
provides office, research, and computer facilities as well as some
travel funds for conferences and research. Fellows hold concurrent
appointment as assistant professor in the appropriate department at
the College of William and Mary and teach a total of six semester
hours during the two-year term. Institute fellows also have the option
of spending a summer at the Huntington Library on a full grant within
five years of their residency in Williamsburg. (jap)
