Open to CUÌýBoulder Graduate Students

The Program in Jewish Studies and University Libraries’ Rare and Distinctive Collections announce a new competition for an Innovations in Jewish Life Collections (IJL) Graduate Research Fellowship, which provides a $2,000 fellowship to a CU Boulder graduate student for a semester, including the summer term. The Fellowship requires approximately 60 hours of research over the semester in the IJL collections (approximately 4 hours of work per week). Research will be conducted in the Rare and Distinctive Collections Reading Room in Norlin Library during the room’s open hours, Monday - Thursday, 10:00am - 4:00pm.

The Fellow is expected to produce an original research paper or project using one or more of the IJL collections. Consultations with Rare and Distinctive Collections archivists are available and encouraged to orient the Fellow to the IJL collections.Ìý Upon completion, the paper will be made available on the Innovations in Jewish Life Collections website for public viewing. The student will also share a brief presentation (approximately 10 minutes) on the research at a research showcase in April.

CU graduate students from all disciplines in the arts and humanities are welcome to apply; preference will be given to candidates with experience and/or interest in Jewish Studies, European or American history and culture, and/or archival work. Preference will also be given to students who have not yet worked or conducted research in the IJL collections; however, all graduate students are encouraged to apply. If competency in a foreign language will be useful for the research project in question, it should be mentioned in the application.
