These fellowships offer research opportunities to Stanford faculty members from humanities departments as traditionally defined and from other departments in which the faculty member is engaged in humanistic research.

Applications will be judged on (1) the promise of the specific research project being proposed; (2) the originality and intellectual distinction of the candidate’s previous work; (3) the research project’s potential interest to scholars in different fields of the humanities; (4) the applicant’s ability to engage in collegial interaction.

An essential feature of the Center is that fellows contribute to the intellectual life of the Stanford community. The nature of this contribution will depend on a fellow’s own interests and wishes as well as relevant approvals. It may take the form of participating in a research workshop or offering a course or seminar within a particular department or program or Stanford's Continuing Studies Program.

Number of Awards
The Stanford Humanities Center will award as many as sixteen faculty fellowships each academic year. Of these, up to eight will be awarded to internal faculty, and a similar number to faculty from outside of Stanford.

Eligibility
Both tenured and untenured Stanford faculty are eligible to apply. Applications are also accepted from lecturers and senior lecturers as well as emeriti faculty. For specific eligibility requirements, please see the application forms.

One goal of the fellowship selection process is to create a diverse community of scholars in residence across the spectrum of academic fields and ranks. Scholars who are members of traditionally under-represented groups are encouraged to apply.

Residency
Fellows must remain in residence during the regular academic year (September to June) and take part in the life of the Center. This fellowship is not appropriate for those whose projects demand periods of time spent away from the university.

Stipends
Information on stipends is detailed in the application forms which you may download from the link at the left-hand side of this page.
