ACLS Public Fellows
   
 

ACLS is currently accepting applications from organizations wishing to host
a 2016 ACLS Public Fellow. Online applications will be accepted from recent
PhDs starting in January 2016.

The ACLS Public Fellows program places recent PhDs from the humanities and
humanistic social sciences in two-year staff positions at partnering
organizations in government and the nonprofit sector. Fellows participate in
the substantive work of these organizations and receive professional
mentoring. The fellowship provides a stipend of $65,000 per year as well as
individual health insurance.

This program, made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation,
aims to expand the reach of doctoral education in the US by demonstrating
that the capacities developed in the advanced study of the humanities have
wide application, both within and beyond the academy.

The ACLS Public Fellows program involves two separate application processes
each program year: 

In the fall, nonprofit and government organizations apply for the
opportunity to host an ACLS Public Fellow, who will take up his or her
appointment in the following year. For more information, visit

In the spring, recent humanities PhDs who meet the program's eligibility
requirements apply for two-year fellowship placements at one of the year's
selected host organizations. For more information about becoming an ACLS
