Fellowship Description
Each year, this program brings to Woodstock several lay or Jesuit scholars from around the world to study in the USA and gives them an opportunity to carry out a research project of their own design.
The program broadens the intellectual horizons and collaborative opportunities of Woodstock's permanent research fellows by connecting them with theologians and other scholars from around the world. It also exposes Jesuits and other scholars from around the world to Woodstock’s theological method, and it provides them with a valuable opportunity to conduct research in the United States.
Visiting fellowships of six to nine months at the Woodstock Theological Center are available for scholars for the United States academic year (September through May) 2014-2015.
Eligibility
Applicants must be from outside the United States and intend to continue working outside the United States once the fellowship has ended.
They must hold a doctorate or have equivalent professional accomplishments, be fluent in English, and submit a research proposal consistent with the mission of the Woodstock Theological Center plus three letters of recommendation.
Religious and priests must also submit a letter from their superiors giving them permission to accept the fellowship should it be granted.
Selection criteria:
Candidates are selected on the basis of their academic accomplishments, the value that they bring to Woodstock, the compatibility of their research project with Woodstock’s mission, and the extent to which a fellowship at Woodstock would benefit them in their scholarly lives and support the life of the Church and academia in their home country.
