The Stanford Humanities Center seeks to award one Digital Humanities fellowship for the academic year 2009-2010. Faculty fellowships are awarded across the spectrum of academic ranks (assistant, associate, and full professor) as well as to independent scholars. Fellows are in residence at the Center during the regular academic year (September to June) and participate in the Center's intellectual life, sharing ideas and work in progress with a diverse community of scholars from across the spectrum of academic fields and ranks.

The Digital Humanities fellowship online application deadline is October 15, 2008.

The Digital Humanities Fellowship reflects the Stanford Humanities Center's commitment to supporting new directions in humanities research. The fellowship is intended for humanities scholars whose research methods are critically shaped by information technology. Projects should be oriented to producing new research outcomes rather than focusing primarily on the creation of archives or software. Appropriate projects will approach significant questions in humanistic study with the aid of new research tools or methodologies. Especially appropriate are candidates whose research is likely to contribute to intellectual exchange among a diverse group of scholars within the disciplines of the humanities.

Applicants must have a PhD and will normally be at least three years beyond receipt of the degree by the start of the fellowship term. Fellows are awarded stipends of up to $60,000. In addition, a housing and moving allowance of up to $15,000 is offered, dependent upon need.
