THE WARBURG INSTITUTE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS, 1999-2000
(Crawford, Frankfort, Salton, Yates, Norddeutsche Landesbank)
The Warburg Institute
The Warburg Institute is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of the
classical tradition - in the sense of those elements in European thought,
art and institutions that have evolved out of the cultures of the ancient
world. Its Library and Photographic Collection are designed and arranged
to encourage research into the processes by which one culture learns from
another and by which different fields of thought and art act on each
other. They are particularly concerned with continuities between the
ancient Mediterranean civilizations and the cultural and intellectual
history of post-classical Europe, especially in the period to c. 1800.
Research Fellowships
The following Fellowships in intellectual and cultural history will be
tenable at the Warburg Institute in the 1999-2000 session.
Brian Hewson Crawford Fellowship: A Research Fellowship has been endowed
from the estate of, and in memory of, Dr Brian Hewson Crawford, who
graduated from the University of London in 1926. A one- or two-month
Fellowship is available for the study of any aspect of the classical
tradition. Under the terms of the deed, the Fellowship is open to European
scholars other than of British nationality.
Henri Frankfort Fellowship: Mrs Enriqueta Frankfort has endowed a Research
Fellowship in memory of her husband Henri Frankfort, who was Director of
the Institute from 1949 to 1954. The Fellowship, of up to three months,
may be held in any of the areas in which Professor Frankfort made his
distinguished contributions to scholarship: the intellectual and cultural
history of the ancient Near East, with particular reference to society,
art, architecture, religion, philosophy and science; the relations between
the cultures of Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Aegean, and their influence on
later civilizations. The Fellowship is not intended to support
archaeological excavation.
Albin Salton Fellowship: Mr Albin Salton has generously endowed an annual
Research Fellowship to enable a younger scholar to spend one to two months
at the Warburg Institute pursuing research into cultural contacts between
Europe, the East, and the New World in the late medieval, Renaissance and
early modern periods. The Fellowship is intended to promote the
understanding of those elements of cultural and intellectual history which
led to the formation of a new world-view, understood in the broadest
cultural, political and socio-economic terms, as Europe began to develop
contacts with the world outside Europe, and that world came into contact
with Europe.
Frances A. Yates Fellowships: Dame Frances Yates, who died on 29 September
1981, generously bequeathed her residuary estate to found a research
Fellowship or Fellowships in her name at the Institute. Fellows interests
may lie in any aspect of cultural and intellectual history but, other
things being equal, preference will be given to those whose work is
concerned with those areas of the medieval and Renaissance encyclopedia of
knowledge to which Dame Frances herself made such distinguished
contributions. One long-term Fellowship of up to three years (not normally
non-renewable) and approximately ten short-term Fellowships of one, two or
three months are available. Candidates domiciled in the U.K. applying for
short-term awards may apply for three-month Fellowships only.
NORD/LB Warburg-Wolfenbuettel Fellowship: The Norddeutsche Landesbank has
funded a four-month Research Fellowship tenable for two months at the
Institute and two months at the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbuettel for
research into the cultural and intellectual history of early modern
Europe. [For conditions, value of award and method of application for this
Fellowship, see Norddeutsche Landesbank Fellowships.]
Eligibility
The Fellowships are intended for younger scholars who should have
completed at least two years research towards the doctorate. Those
employed as Professor, Lecturer or equivalent in a university or learned
institution may normally hold an award only if they are taking unpaid
leave for the whole of the period. The Fellowship may not be held
concurrently with another Fellowship or award. Applicants must normally
have been under 35 years of age on 1 October 1998. Other things being
equal, in the case of short-term Fellowships, preference will be given to
those candidates who do not live within daily travelling distance of the
Institute. Any other conditions for eligibility applicable to individual
Fellowships are stated above.
Value of Fellowships
The long-term Fellowship will be in the range 14,000-15,500 pounds p.a.
according to age and qualifications. The stipend will be paid monthly in
arrears and will be liable to deductions of approximately 27% for tax and
National Insurance.
The value of short-term awards will be: applicants domiciled in the United
Kingdom (National Insurance contributions required): 620 pounds for one
month, 1,150 pounds for two months, 1,700 pounds for three months;
applicants domiciled abroad, 850 pounds for one month, 1,400 pounds for
two months, 2,000 pounds for three months. The amount of these stipends is
absolute; no additional costs will be paid. The duration of short-term
awards applicable to individual Fellowships is given above and should be
studied carefully before submitting an application.
Tenure
Short-term Fellows must hold at least three-quarters of their award during
term-time. Term dates for 1999-2000 are expected to be 4 October - 10
December 1999; 10 January - 17 March 2000; 25 April - 30 June 2000.

Norddeutsche Landesbank
Research Fellowship, 1999-2000
The Norddeutsche Landesbank has generously funded a four-month Research
Fellowship to enable a younger scholar to spend two months at the Warburg
Institute, University of London, and two months at the Herzog August
Bibliothek Wolfenb=FCttel, pursuing research into the cultural and
intellectual history of early modern Europe.
The Warburg Institute
The Warburg Institute is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of the
classical tradition - in the sense of those elements in European thought,
art and institutions that have evolved out of the cultures of the ancient
world. Its Library and Photographic Collection are designed and arranged
to encourage research into the processes whereby one culture learns from
another, and different fields of thought and art act on one another. They
are particularly concerned with continuities between the ancient
Mediterranean civilizations and the cultural and intellectual history of
post-classical Europe, especially in the period to c. 1800.
The Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbuettel
Over the past twenty years the Herzog August Bibliothek, with its rich
historic book and manuscript holdings, has developed into an independent
research institute combining the traditional role of a library with that
of a humanities research centre concentrating on European cultural history
of the early modern period. The Library takes its name from Duke August
the Younger (1579-1666), whose collection of 135,000 imprints was one of
the largest libraries of his day. It now also houses the collections of
the Helmstedt University Library as well as all those books and
manuscripts acquired for the collections since the death of Duke August in
1666. The Herzog August Bibliothek has recently been designated the
national repository for 17th-century imprints in a scheme to establish a
decentralized national library of German texts 1450-1912. The Library
offers a broad range of research facilities within its own
interdisciplinary fellowship programme, runs summer schools, and organizes
conferences and workshops.
Eligibility
The Fellowship is intended for younger scholars, who should have completed
at least two years' research towards a doctorate. Those employed at
Professor, Lecturer or equivalent in a university or learned institution
may normally hold an award only if they are taking unpaid leave for the
whole of the period. The Fellowship may not be held concurrently with any
other Fellowship or award. Applicants must normally have been under 35
years of age on 1 October 1998.
Duration and Value
The Fellowship lasts four months, two of which must be spent in each
institution. The total stipend, which may be applied to travel expenses as
well as living and other incidental expenses, is expected to be 5,100
pounds (approx. DM 14,800). Applicants domiciled in the UK will be liable
for National Insurance costs on the English portion of the award. No
additional funds are available.
Tenure
The Fellowship may be held for any four consecutive months during the year
beginning 4 October 1999. Fellows must spend at least 6 weeks of their two
months in London during University term-time; term dates for 1999-2000 are
expected to be 4 October - 10 December 1999; 10 January - 17 March and 25
April - 30 June 2000.
Selection
Candidates will be selected jointly by the two institutions and the Bank;
the decision of the selection committee will be final. The successful
candidate will be notified in March 1999, and all other candidates will be
informed of the outcome of their applications.
General
At the Warburg Institute, the Fellow will be expected to be in London for
the full duration of the award, and to participate in the life of the
Institute by presenting his or her research in a seminar, and by advising
the Library and Photographic Collection. At the Herzog August Bibliothek
the Fellow will be expected to be in residence at the Library for the full
duration of the award, and to present an informal paper on his or her
research at one of the Fellows' meetings. The Fellow may not teach
elsewhere during the tenure of the award, unless with the express
permission of the Director of the relevant institution, and will be
required to submit a brief written report to both institutions at the
conclusion of the Fellowship. The Fellowship may be terminated if the
Directors are not satisfied that the conditions of the award are being
met. All publications containing results of work done with the aid of the
Fellowship shall include adequate acknowledgment of the fact.
