Library of Congress Placement Scheme

This call has now closed; the following is for information only.

We are pleased to announce that the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is collaborating with the Arts and Humanities Council (AHRC) in the AHRC 2012 International Placement Scheme, offering AHRC and ESRC-funded postgraduate students, research assistants and early career researchers the exciting opportunity to enhance their project with a short-term fellowship at the Library of Congress, a prestigious research institution in the USA.

For more details please see:

The world-class research facilities give IPS fellows dedicated access to unique collections, programmes and expertise, plus the opportunity to network and form collaborative relationships.

ESRC applicants can apply to spend from three to six months at the Library of Congress during the 2012/13 academic year.

Successful ESRC applicants will receive an award from the ESRC to contribute towards their flight costs plus a monthly living allowance of £1000 in addition to the existing stipend/salary they receive as part of their current ESRC funding.

Further information about each of the host institutions, applicant eligibility and how to apply can be found on the AHRC link above. If you have any queries not answered by the scheme guidance documents, please contact Allie Brown at the AHRC on ips@ahrc.ac.uk or telephone 01793 416074.
