The post Call for Summer 2019 American Indian/Alaska Native Student Interns appeared first on Sequoyah National Research Center.

The program encourages scholars to conduct research in the Center鈥檚 collections to support significant studies in a wide range of fields and subjects such as Indian removal from the Southeast, Native journalism and journalists, late 20th century and early 21st century tribal societies and economics, literary artists, entertainment, and others.  Fellowships are intended to defray travel expenses and living expenses while recipients are conducting research in the SNRC.

Recipients of research fellowships are expected to spend at least a work week conducting research at the Center.  The Center requests that, following their research, research fellows send the Center a copy of the results of their research in published form whenever it appears or in unpublished form if the research is not conducted for publication.  The Center also requests notice of the presentation of the research in a public forum.  Recipients will be expected to conduct their research between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019.

Two research fellowships of $1,500 each will be offered in the 2018-2019 academic year.  The most significant criteria considered in awarding a fellowship are the research project’s potential contribution to Native American studies and the extent to which the SNRC’s collections support scholarship in a research subject.  Consideration will also be given to the applicant’s background and academic accomplishments if the applicant works in an academic setting.  Academic affiliation, however, is not a requisite for receiving a fellowship.

An applicant should send a cover letter and a statement of the objectives of his or her project, the significance of the project, and relation of the proposed project to the applicant鈥檚 background, previous work, and future plans.  Research fellowship applicants should attach a curriculum vita.  Applications should be sent to SNRC Director Daniel F. Littlefield, Jr. at dflittlefiel@ualr.edu.

Applications will be considered between March 15, 2018 and May 1, 2018.  Awards will be made by May 15, 2018.
