RD Mullen Research Fellowship

jpr238 on

Deadline: April 3, 2017

All projects must centrally investigate science fiction, of any nation, culture, medium or era.

Postdoctoral research fellowship: up to $3000.  “Candidates must have received their PhD degree 2 years or less from the date of applying. Also eligible are those who have essentially completed but not yet defended the dissertation. Applicants who hold (or are contracted to begin) a tenure-track position are not eligible. The relation between the new research and the topic of the dissertation should be clarified in the proposal. The Committee understands that the two are likely to be related, but the additional research needed for the post-doctoral project should be explained.”

Dissertation research fellowship: up to $1500.  “Research must be in support of a dissertation topic that requires archival research. The proposal should make it clear that applicants have familiarized themselves in some detail with the resources available at the library or archive they propose to use. Projects with an overall sf emphasis, other things being equal, will receive priority over projects with a more tangential relationship to the field.”
