Dear All,

 

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing on behalf of the Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography (SoFCB) at the Rare Book School, University of Virginia.

 

We are inviting applications for the 2026 cohort of Junior Fellows. The SoFCB is a community of scholars working across disciplines to advance the study of texts, images, and artifacts as material objects. Ten Junior Fellows will be selected to join the SoFCB in 2026; they may become Senior Fellows after completing two years of the fellowship's required activities in good standing. The application deadline for the SoFCB Junior Fellows Program is Wednesday, 19 November 2025, at 11:50 pm ET. To learn more about the fellowship program and application, please visit: www.tinyurl.com/Apply-SoFCB-2025. For any questions about the SoFCB Junior Fellows Program, please email sofcb_staff@virginia.edu.

 

We would very much appreciate it if you could share our call for applications and welcome letter with interested students and colleagues in your institution.

 

With warm wishes,

Pranav
