The Linda Hall Library invites applications for humanities fellowships for research in the library's collections on the history and philosophy of science, engineering, and technology.

Short term fellowships are available for up to eight weeks, offering a stipend of $450 per week to assist researchers with travel and living expenses. These fellowships support advanced and independent studies, dissertation research, and post-doctoral research.

About the Fellowship Program

The research fellowships are funded by gifts from the Friends of the Linda Hall Library, by a generous start-up grant from The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, and by other gifts and grants.
