Job description

Description
The Beinecke Library Fellowship Program offers, on a competitive basis, fellowships to support graduate students who wish to pursue onsite research with Yale Library Special Collections materials for one to four months. We welcome applications from students enrolled in graduate programs at Yale and at any other university or college, locally or globally. The fellowship program aims to facilitate research by the broadest possible group of students, regardless of institutional association, race, cultural background, ability, sexual orientation, gender, or socioeconomic status. Students applying for a fellowship should be at an advanced stage in their research and propose a fully conceptualized project related to their degree program. Applications from students utilizing traditional methods of archival and bibliographic research are encouraged as are applications from students who wish to pursue creative, interdisciplinary, and non-traditional approaches to conducting research in the collections.
The application opens on June 15, 2026 and closes on September 15, 2026.
Applicants will be notified of all decisions by February 31, 2027.
Fellowships must be taken between July 1, 2027 and June 30, 2028.

If you anticipate consulting oversize materials (broadsides, posters, maps, etc.), please indicate those clearly in your list
  • One confidential letter of recommendation, preferably from your dissertation chair, academic advisor, or equivalent

To assist with your application, you may consult these search tools:
