We help women historians thrive through events, resources, and community.
The New-York Historical Society is now accepting applications for its fellowship program for the 2022–2023 academic year. Leveraging its rich collections documenting American history from the perspective of New York City, New-York Historical’s fellowships—open to scholars at various times during their academic careers—provide scholars with deep resources and an intellectual community to develop new research and publications.
2022-23 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Gender and LGBTQ+ History Fellow at the Center for Women’s History
Hired for a two-year term, the Andrew W. Mellon Gender and LGBTQ+ History Fellow works as a public historian for the New-York Historical Society’s Center for Women’s History. The ideal candidate will have a strong scholarly background in LGBTQ+ and gender history, and have an interest in public history. The Gender and LGBTQ+ History Fellow will strengthen the interpretive and pedagogical aspects of LGBTQ+ programming, expanding interdisciplinary efforts to encompass the intersection of women’s history with gender studies and LGBTQ+ history, as the New-York Historical Society prepares to engage fully with the new LGBTQ+ Museum. Applicants for the Mellon Gender and LGBTQ+ History Fellowship must have the Ph.D. in hand by the time of appointment. This fellowship will last from January 4, 2022, through December 31, 2023, and will receive a stipend of $70,000 per year, with benefits.
Application deadline: November 15, 2021
2022-23 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Predoctoral Awards in Women’s History
The two recipients of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Predoctoral Awards in Women’s History should have a strong interest in women’s and public history and the applications of these fields outside the academy. Functioning as research associates and providing programmatic support for N-YHS’s Center for Women’s History, pre-doctoral awardees will assist in the development of content for the Women’s History exhibitions, associated educational curriculum, and on-site experiences for students, scholars, and visitors. They must be currently enrolled students in good standing in a relevant Ph.D. program in the humanities. The Predoctoral Awardees, whose work at N-YHS may not necessarily directly correspond with their dissertation research, will be in residence part time at the New-York Historical Society for one academic year, between September 6, 2022, and August 31, 2023, and will receive a stipend of $20,000 per year. This position is not full time and will not receive full benefits.
