In partnership
with the National Fellows Program, the University of Virginia School of Law is
soliciting applications for outstanding junior scholars for the 2018-19 Charles
W. McCurdy fellowship in legal history.
The fellowship allows scholars to complete dissertations in legal
history while in residence at the Law School, and the fellow will be expected
to spend the majority of his or her time on dissertation research. The University’s nationally renowned legal
history program, which includes a workshop, a writing group, a JD/MA program in
legal history, and an engaged community of interested scholars, provides a rich
environment for a junior scholar. The
fellow will also help coordinate the legal history workshop and has the
opportunity to present their work there.
As a part of the National Fellows Program, the McCurdy fellow is paired
with a “dream mentor” – a senior scholar in the fellow’s field from anywhere in
the world – who will provide critical guidance during the year. The fellow will also participate in the
National Fellows’ fall and spring conferences and will receive training on how
to reach broader scholarly and non-scholarly audiences. The fellow will receive a stipend of $32,000
for the year.
Applicants must
have completed the coursework toward a Ph.D. in history. Strong preference will be given to applicants
who hold a J.D. and who will complete their dissertation by the end of the
fellowship year. For the application,
please see the National
Fellows Program website. Please
direct any questions to Professor Cynthia Nicoletti at cln4x@virginia.edu. Applications will be accepted until February
28, 2018.
