Library of Congress Alan Lomax Fellowship in Folklife Studies

This fellowship invites qualified scholars to apply for a post-doctoral fellowship for advanced research based on the Alan Lomax Collection. The Lomax Collection is a major collection of ethnographic field audio recordings, motion pictures, photographs, manuscripts, correspondence and other materials that represent Lomax’s lifetime of work to document and analyze traditional music, dance, storytelling and other expressive genres that arise from cultural groups in many parts of the world, particularly the United States, England, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and the Caribbean. Fellows will remain in full-time residence and have the opportunity to use the Library’s collections for up to eight months. Fellows also receive a stipend of $4,200 per month. Applications are due March 31, 2013. For more information, see the link below:
