CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: SoFCB JUNIOR FELLOWS PROGRAM

Rare Book School’s Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography
(SoFCB) invites applications for its 2025–27 cohort of Junior Fellows. The
deadline is Friday, November 1, 2024.

This scholarly society works to advance the study of texts, images, and
artifacts as material objects through capacious, interdisciplinary
scholarship—and to enrich humanistic inquiry and education by identifying,
mentoring, and training promising early-career scholars. Junior Fellows will be
encouraged and supported in integrating the methods of critical bibliography
into their teaching and research, fostering collegial conversations about
historical and emerging media across disciplines and institutions, and sharing
their knowledge with broader publics.

The fellowship includes tuition waivers for two Rare Book School courses, as
well as funding for Junior Fellows to participate in the Society’s annual
meeting and orientation. Additional funds are available for fellows to organize
symposia at their home institutions, and fellows will have the option of
attending a bibliographical field school to visit libraries, archives, and
collections in a major metropolitan area. After completing two years in good
standing as Junior Fellows, program participants will have the option to become
Senior Fellows in the Society.

The Society is committed to supporting diversity and to advancing the
scholarship of outstanding persons of every race, gender, sexual orientation,
creed, and socioeconomic background, and to enhancing the diversity of the
professions and academic disciplines it represents, including those of the
professoriate, museums, libraries, archives, public humanities, and digital
humanities. We warmly encourage prospective applicants from a wide range of
disciplines, institutions, and areas of expertise.
