By January 28, 2022

LINK TO MORE INFORMATION AND APPLICATION

Eligibility

The Tanner Humanities Center will award a graduate fellowship in Mormon Studies for the 2022-2023 academic year. The fellowship encourages, in all facets, the scholarly explorations of any religious tradition which traces its roots to Joseph Smith Jr., its people, values, history, culture, and institutions. This fellowship is designed to enable doctoral students of unusual ability and achievement to engage in research and writing full time. Projects should focus on topics related to the history and/or culture of Mormonism. Eligible disciplines include: Communication, English, History, Languages, Law, Philosophy, and Political Science, among others.

Graduate students will have successfully passed their Ph.D. or qualifying exams, and completed all course work by the beginning of the fellowship period (August 2022).

Stipend

Fellows will receive a stipend of $25,000 and a private office with computer and telephone in the Center. Fellows may retain other forms of internal and external support that do not interfere with their dissertation work.  Due to funding constraints, this fellowship does not offer health benefits or additional travel/research funding.

Fellowship Activities

As part of an intellectual community, fellows will be in residence during the nine-month academic year from August through April and are expected to participate fully in Center activities.  The fellow will also present a work-in-progress talk to other fellows, faculty, graduate students, and invited guests. A final written fellowship report of progress is required by June 30, 2023. Brief absences for research-related travel are permitted with notice to staff.

Selection Criteria

The Center seeks fellows whose past and present work demonstrates excellence and collegiality, and represents a variety of disciplines and methodologies. Applicants are selected without regard to race, color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, citizenship, or national or ethnic origin. The University of Utah seeks to provide equal access to its programs, services, and activities to people with disabilities.
