The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library offers generous fellowships to support visiting scholars pursuing post-doctoral or equivalent research in its collections. These fellowships are designed to provide access to the library for scholars who live outside the greater New Haven area. Postdoctoral researchers from across the country and around the world are invited to apply. Students enrolled in degree programs are ineligible. Recipients are expected to be in residence during the period of their award and are encouraged to participate in the activities of Yale University.

Short-term Postdoctoral Fellowships support scholars pursuing post-doctoral or equivalent research in Beinecke collections. Granted for one, two, or three months, fellowships must be taken up between September 1, 2018, and May 31, 2019.

Semester-long Postdoctoral Fellowships are intended to support scholarly research within the Beinecke collections for the duration of an academic semester. Applicants for semester-long fellowships must hold a PhD by their intended start date.
