The 2009 ESRC/AHRC Library of Congress (LoC) scholarship scheme is now live. These prestigious scholarships offer ESRC/AHRC funded doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows and research assistants the opportunity to access more than 138 million items housed in the world-class facilities at the Library of Congress in Washington DC. The vast resources at the library cover far more than just American Studies and as such you are invited to apply whatever your research interests. You can view the Library of Congress classification outline at http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/lcco/.
The scholarships provide the opportunity for ESRC/AHRC funded doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows and research assistants based in UK universities to spend between three and six months at the Library of Congress, with access to the internationally renowned research collections held there. In addition to any stipend granted in conjunction with your award the LoC scheme offers an additional £500 towards flight costs and £1,000 a month towards accommodation costs.
The closing date for scholarships to take place between 1 October 2009 and 30 September 2010 is 17:00 on 27 February 2009.
