Kluge Fellowships, Kluge Center, Library of Congress, Washington, DC, USA. Deadline: 15 September 2025.
The Kluge Center welcomes applications from promising post-graduate scholars for research in an array of subjects that can be supported by the Library’s collections and digital resources. These positions are filled by a range of competitions managed by the Kluge Center. Fellows receive individual carrels within the Library of Congress’ Thomas Jefferson Building to pursue their work.
The Kluge Center is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for endowed fellowship programs at the Library of Congress. The Center offers residential fellowships to scholars and thought leaders to make use of the Library’s vast collections and digital resources.
The Kluge Center encourages humanistic and social science research that makes use of the Library’s large and varied collections. Interdisciplinary and cross-cultural research is particularly welcome in the Kluge Fellowship program, which is open to scholars who received their terminal degree within the past seven years. Up to 12 fellowships are offered to scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and professional fields such as architecture or law, for periods of four to 11 months.
Among the collections available to researchers are the world’s largest law library and outstanding multi-lingual collections of books and periodicals. Deep special collections of manuscripts, maps, music, films, recorded sound, prints, and photographs are also available. In-residence scholars have access to the Library’s specialized staff and to the intellectual community of Washington. Further information about the Library’s collections can be found on the Library’s website.
