CRRS is happy to note that a new fellowship opportunity has been made available for advanced doctoral students (ABD) and junior scholars (PhD in the last 10 yrs) working in theology, history, art history, book history, or related fields, on topics connected to printed works of the 16th century. Description and a link for more details are available below, and the fellowship has been added to our “Academic > Other Opportunities” page.
Pitts Theology Library at Emory University invites applications to serve as one of two Richard C. Kessler Reformation Collection Research Fellows for the 2020-2021 academic year. Kessler Research Fellows will work virtually for a full academic year studying a single item or a single aspect of the Richard C. Kessler Collection. While residence in Atlanta is not required, each fellow will make a Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 visit to Pitts Theology Library to be in residence for 3 days each visit. During each visit, the fellow will have access to the Kessler Collection for research and will offer one public lecture and conduct one research workshop. During the visit, the fellow will also meet with graduate students and library staff to discuss research methods. Throughout the academic year, the fellow will meet virtually with the Director of Pitts Theology Library and the Rare Book Cataloger to discuss research progress. The fellowship will work toward the creation of detailed metadata for the item(s) studied, a research-quality essay to be published by the library, and a digital exhibition to be hosted by the library.
