ACLS Public Fellows
Fellowship Details
ACLS invites applications for the third competition of the Public Fellows program. The program will place 20 recent Ph.D.s from the humanities and humanistic social sciences in two-year staff positions at partnering organizations in government and the nonprofit sector. Fellows will participate in the substantive work of these organizations and receive professional mentoring. The fellowship provides a stipend of $65,000 per year as well as individual health insurance.
This program, made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, aims to expand the role of doctoral education in the U.S. by demonstrating that the capacities developed in the advanced study of the humanities have wide application, both within and beyond the academy. Now in its third year, this innovative initiative allows talented humanities Ph.D.s to gain valuable, career-launching experience in areas such as arts management, development, communications, public administration, and digital media.
ACLS seeks applications from Ph.D.s who have received their degrees in the last three years and who aspire to careers in nonprofit administration and public service by choice rather than circumstance. Competitive applicants will have been successful in both academic and extra-academic experiences.
- Stipend: $65,000 per year, with health insurance coverage for the fellow
- Tenure: Two years; start date in mid-July or early September 2013, depending on the position
- Applications accepted only through the ACLS Online Fellowship Application system (ofa.acls.org). The system will open on January 24, 2013. Please do not contact any of the organizations directly.
- Application deadline: March 27, 2013
- Notification of application status will occur by email starting May 2013.
