FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
2002-2003

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Center for Advanced
Holocaust Studies announces its fellowship opportunities for 2002-2003.
The Center awards fellowships to support research and writing on the
Holocaust and in genocide studies. Awards are granted on a competitive
basis to PhD. candidates, postdoctoral researchers, senior scholars, and
professionals holding degrees from accredited academic and research
institutions worldwide. The Center welcomes approaches by scholars in
history, political science, literature, philosophy, religion, sociology,
anthropology, psychology and other disciplines.

Visiting scholars spend anywhere from one month to an academic year in
residence at the Museum. During this time, fellows have access to more
than 13 million pages of Holocaust-related documentation from archives
across Europe. Scholars may also utilize the Museum's library; oral
history collection; music, film, and photo archives; as well as the vast
resources available at other repositories in the Washington, D.C. area.

The postmark deadline for all fellowship applications is November 1, 2001.
Decisions will be announced by February 8, 2002. Fellowships may begin as
early as April 2002, and must be completed no later than September 2003.
All applications must be in English and consist of:

* A completed application form
* A project proposal not to exceed five single-spaced pages (see application
  form for guidelines)
