[INDOLOGY] Call for Applications: SoFCB Junior Fellows Program

[Pranav Prakash]

*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.
