About This Opportunity

The Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies offers fellowships to support significant research and writing about the Holocaust and related topics for projects that will benefit from a period of residence at the Museum and access to its resources. Fellowships are designed for scholars at all levels of career, starting with PhD candidates (ABD), with a principal focus on ensuring the development of a new generation of scholars. Those early in their careers are especially encouraged to apply. Faculty between appointments and scholars currently not affiliated with a university will also be considered. A fellowship at the Mandel Center provides scholars time to conduct research in the Museum's world-renowned archives, to write, and to participate in programs, all while working in an intimate scholarly environment. Fellows enjoy tailored onboarding meetings and consultations with Mandel Center staff, personal guidance through the Emerging Scholars Publications Program, and regular scholarly presentations and lectures. Fellows have access to approximately 120 million pages of Holocaust-related archival documents, library resources in more than 60 languages, hundreds of thousands of oral history, film, photo, art, artifacts, and memoir collections, and more than 200 million images from the ITS Digital Archive.
