From CRASSH at Cambridge:

Fellowships | Seeing Things: Early Modern Visual and Material Culture
Six-month or 12-month Fellowships to be held from January 2014 to September 2015

Applications due by 16 May 2013

The Centre for Research in Arts, Social Societies and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge and the Early Modern Studies Institute (EMSI) at the University of Southern California / Huntington Library invite applications for Visiting Fellowships in Early Modern Visual and Material Culture, to be held between January 2014 and September 2015. These fellowships are part of the collaborative programme Seeing Things: Early Modern Visual and Material Culture  CRASSH / EMSI will appoint up to four fellows over the period (two fellows for twelve months each or 4 fellows for six months each). Fellows will spend half of their fellowship at CRASSH and half at the Huntington Library, San Marino.

During their residencies in each institution, fellows will be expected to conduct research on a topic in early modern (1400-1800) visual and material culture and to participate in the life of CRASSH / EMSI.  There are no geographical restrictions on research topics, but proposals related to the special collections and museum holdings of Cambridge and the Huntington will be particularly welcome. In addition to carrying out independent research, fellows will be expected to deliver at each institution a master class for early career researchers and graduate students, on a topic of their choice.

Eligibility
The fellowships are open to postdoctoral scholars at any career stage.

Provision
The Fellowships are non-stipendiary. Successful candidates will be provided with a contribution to their accommodation costs for up to six months in each location (local rates will apply) and return travel from their home institution to both destinations, workspace, and access to libraries and special collections.
