Fellowships

… the Davis Center fellowship struck the perfect balance between intellectual stimulation and fellowship, on the one hand, and the peace and quiet to think and write, whether in my exceptionally well set-up office or in the remarkable Firestone library.”

Polly Jones, Davis Fellow 2011-12, University of Oxford.

For two academic years, 2022-23 and 2023-24, the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies will focus on the topic of Environment and Climate. Our next topic, for 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, is on Truth and Information.

Fellowships are awarded to scholars who hold full time academic positions, and who are expected to return to those positions at the conclusion of their Fellowship. Verification of employment and salary will be requested prior to approval by the Dean of the Faculty. Ph.D. required.
