Deadline: 15 November 2024
The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies in Florence, Italy and the Warburg Institute School of Advanced Study at the University of London are inviting applications for their joint residential fellowship for the 2025-2026 academic year to support early and mid-career scholars in any subject.
The fellowship is designed for early and mid-career scholars in any subject; all things being equal, preference will be given to advanced research projects that address the history of science, knowledge, and/or technology related to early modern Italy, including transnational connections between Italy and other cultures. Scholars can also apply to work on the transmission and circulation of ideas, objects, and people during the Renaissance, into and beyond the Italian peninsula, or on the historiography of the Italian Renaissance, including the rebirth of interest in the Renaissance in later periods.
Funding Information
- Villa I Tatti: Fellows will receive a monthly sum of USD 5,200, plus a one-time supplement (maximum USD 1,800) towards relocation expenses.
- The Warburg Institute: Fellows will receive a monthly sum of £3000.
Eligibility Criteria
- At the time of application, scholars must have a PhD in hand and will be asked to upload a scan of the certificate. They may not be working on a second PhD at the time of application.
- Applicants must be conversant in English and have at least a reading knowledge of Italian, with a solid background in Italian Renaissance Studies.
- Each successful candidate must be approved by both the Warburg Institute and Villa I Tatti and will spend the fall term (September – December) at the Warburg Institute in London and the spring term (January-June) at Villa I Tatti in Florence. During both terms, it must be possible for Fellows to carry out most of their research with the resources available in the city where they are resident. The proposed research project may represent a segment of a larger project.
- Priority will be given to applicants with no previous association with either I Tatti or the Warburg Institute. Renewals, repeats, or deferments of this Fellowship are not granted.
- The fellow will be expected to carry out original research on the topic for which they have been awarded their fellowship. Applications will not be accepted from candidates proposing to revise their doctoral dissertation for publication.
