Subject: Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program (SIFP) Application Open
Application for the
Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program (SIFP)
is now open. Please share this opportunity with your external networks! The deadline is
November 1st, 2022.
The
Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program
offers opportunities for independent research or study related to Smithsonian collections, facilities, and/or research interests of the Institution and its staff. Fellowships are offered to graduate students, predoctoral students,
and postdoctoral and senior researchers to conduct independent research and to utilize the resources of the Institution with members of the Smithsonian professional research staff serving as advisors and hosts. These fellowships are offered through the Smithsonian’s
Office of Academic Appointments and Internships.
Application deadline: November 1, 2022.
Eligibility
Determination of the fellowship category for which to apply should be based on the anticipated academic level at the time the fellowship would begin:
Senior Fellowships – Applicants must have held a Ph.D. or equivalent for at least 7 years. Applicants who have received the Ph.D. or equivalent before June 1, 2016 are eligible to apply for senior fellowships.*
Postdoctoral Fellowships – for scholars up to seven years beyond the Ph.D.*
Predoctoral Fellowships – for doctoral candidates to conduct dissertation research. Students enrolled in a university as candidates for the Ph.D. or equivalent are eligible for predoctoral fellowships.
Ten-Week Graduate Student Fellowships – for graduate students to conduct independent research usually before having been advanced to candidacy if in a Ph.D. program.
* If you have taken a “leave of absence” from research and wish to apply under the postdoctoral fellowship application instead of senior fellowship application which makes you 7 or more years out from receiving
your Ph.D., please provide a justification in the additional information section at the end of the application.
