Townsend Dissertation Fellowships

The Townsend Fellowships program supports the research of graduate students at UC Berkeley.  Fellows meet in weekly discussions together with tenured faculty, a Librarian Fellow, a Museum Fellow, and several Mellon Postdoctoral Fellows.  These discussions allow for interdisciplinary peer review of work in progress in an informal setting.

Eligibility: Townsend Dissertation Fellowships are awarded to graduate students writing PhD dissertations whose research projects significantly involve humanistic material or problems that have a significant bearing on humanities.  The competition is open to graduate students who are advanced to candidacy, or who will be advanced to candidacy by June 2012.

Award: $18,000 stipend.

Application Deadline: November 13, 2012
