Fellowship opportunities for PhD work in Jewish studies

Overview

The Tam Institute for Jewish Studies (TIJS) at Emory University offers several top-off fellowships to support PhD students pursuing Jewish studies topics in any of the James T. Laney Graduate School’s programs, including the Graduate Division of Religion and the departments of history, comparative literature, and anthropology. These fellowships supplement the generous departmental fellowships and tuition waivers awarded to all accepted PhD students. No separate application is required; departments and programs will nominate appropriate candidates who are offered admission.

The Ph.D. program in Jewish history provides students with rigorous training in their fields of specialization while encouraging comparative study. Students who focus on Jewish history are encouraged to study its chronological breadth while choosing a geographic area of specialization for coursework and examinations. They may also enroll in a Certificate Program in Jewish Studies (currently in development), which will present them with cross-disciplinary perspectives through coursework and participation in a regular colloquium, the Seminar Series in Jewish Studies, which brings together graduate students and faculty from across the university for intellectual interchange. The Certificate Program will offer students a credential beyond their departmental training that strengthens their ability to compete for national fellowships, postdoctoral awards, and tenure-track positions in Jewish history.

Emory PhD students working in Jewish studies–related fields can expect:

- Training in disciplinary-based departments with support from a nationally prominent Jewish studies program
- Close contact with distinguished faculty in your home department and access to twenty Jewish studies scholars across the University
- The resources of a major research institution, including significant Judaica library holdings and manuscript collections
- Teaching assistantships, research associateships, and opportunities to teach your own courses, both in your home department and in Jewish studies
- Generous support for language training, study abroad, and summer research


FELLOWSHIP SUPPORT

All students accepted to the Graduate Division of Religion are awarded tuition waivers and competitive fellowship support. A limited number of Tam Institute for Jewish Studies Fellowships are regularly awarded by the Laney Graduate School to outstanding Ph.D. applicants in various Jewish studies-related fields and are intended to supplement the departmental fellowships. Applicants indicating an interest in Jewish history will automatically be considered for these awards.

APPLICATIONS

Applicants for Ph.D. study in the Graduate Division of Religion should complete the Laney Graduate School application available at http://www.gs.emory.edu/admissions/application.php and should specify Jewish history as their area of interest. The application deadline is January 3 for admission in Fall 2011.
