We are pleased to share this Call for Applications from The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC-JOINT) Archives for its 2025 fellowship program.
Deadline for submission is February 7, 2025.
In 2025, three to six fellowships will be awarded to senior scholars, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and independent researchers to conduct research in the JDC Archives. The fellowship awards are $2,500 and the deadline for submission is February 7, 2025.
Finding aids can be consulted to identify relevant subject areas of research.
Stipends may be used towards travel, transportation, and living expenses while conducting research in the JDC Archives (in New York or Jerusalem.)
If on-site research is not possible, arrangements will be made to train fellows in how to access and use our database of digitized material and other materials in the JDC Archives.
Fellowship holders agree to submit a brief report on their research activities upon conclusion of their fellowships.
Additionally, at JDC’s election, fellowship holders may be requested to give a virtual presentation.
Past fellows have worked on diverse topics ranging from the social history of Jewish agrarian settlements in the Southern Ukraine (1924-1947) to JDC’s work in French Algeria during and after both World War II and the Algerian War.
The areas of research and lectures of previously awarded recipients can be viewed here.
