The Folger Shakespeare Library, located on Capitol Hill in
Washington, D.C., is seeking an Associate Director for Fellowships
at the Folger Institute. The Folger is a world-class research and
cultural center on Shakespeare and the early modern age. Through
its cross-disciplinary conversations, the Institute gathers
scholarly communities to stimulate fresh research in the Folger
collections. The fellowship program sponsors scholars from across
the globe to work with the Folger’s collections for up to an
academic year.
The Associate Director for Fellowships (AD) will work closely with
the Executive Director of the Folger Institute to shape and manage
our highly competitive program and take a key role in shaping
future research and public humanities initiatives. The AD will
contribute to the Institute’s self-study of its values and mission,
including with reference to diversity and inclusion. The AD is
responsible for the administration of the full fellowship program,
from recommending policies and criteria for the program, to
assisting scholars with procedures and applications, to managing
the review process with the selection committee, and communicating
with applicants regarding selection and process. As a member of the
Institute, the AD will use their familiarity with early modern
materials and scholarship to guide and assist with future
collaborative research opportunities, including taking a lead
administrative role in some resulting projects. The AD will also
serve as a responsible officer for the J-1 program for
international scholars, organize regular colloquia and other in
person and electronic forums for scholarly discussion, and
participate in grant initiatives. This is a full-time role with a
generous benefit package.
