The annual Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS) Short Term Residency will enable scholars who have earned a PhD in a pre-modern field to pursue their research for a period of four to six weeks. The residency is designed to allow scholars to focus on finishing projects for publication. The Director of ACMRS and senior members of ACMRS’ in-house press can provide publishing advice and mentoring. Each resident will present their work in a public lecture, showcasing their scholarship. Opportunities for graduate student mentorship are also available.

A New Model

In line with ACMRS’ mission, the ACMRS Short Term Residencies are designed to be as inclusive as possible and allow maximum flexibility. As such, the residencies may be held for a period of four to six weeks; a portion of the residency may be conducted remotely; or the residency may be divided into shorter segments over the course of the award year. Each residency carries a stipend of $7,500.

Eligibility

Candidates must have earned the doctoral degree in a pre-modern field by the time of application. Scholars of colour, members of groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the academy, and early career scholars are particularly encouraged to apply.

Application Deadline: 1 March 2022 (for 2022-3 academic year)
