Visiting Scholars

The Institute seeks visiting scholars to carry out projects in humanities disciplines that will deepen understanding of and develop pedagogical approaches to topics in the medical humanities.

Visiting Scholars will be selected on the basis of the significance of the proposed project, the strength of their proposals outlining a plan of work for the period of residency, and the likelihood that projects will enhance the Institute's teaching and research programs and contribute to the visiting scholar's future teaching and writing. We are seeking scholars with a Ph.D. or other terminal degree in their disciplines from the full range of humanities disciplines. Graduate students are not eligible.

Visitors are expected to carry out their proposed project at the Institute and to participate in its multidisciplinary work (colloquia, symposia). Periods of residency may range from two months to nine months, and stipends amount to $4,000 per month. Benefits and travel subsidies are not available.

To apply, please submit a letter describing your interest in this opportunity, your plans for the period of residency you propose (approximately 500 words), a curriculum vitae, and two letters of reference to:
