Summer Archival Fellowship

The Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for a new month-long Summer Archival Fellowship supporting a visit to the Center and research at the Archives of Scientific Philosophy. The Summer Archival Fellowship is available for June, July, or August 2024. The Summer Archival Fellow will be given an office at the Center and will receive a $1,500 stipend.

Required qualifications: Summer Archival Fellows must have completed their PhDs in the philosophy of science or a related field.

The Archival Fellowship is not meant to fund general projects in philosophy of science at the Center for Philosophy of Science. It is meant to fund research on the archival materials in the Archives of Scientific Philosophy, and only projects related to these will be considered. The Center is also interested in researchers who could write down archival notes about the documents reviewed during their research and make them accessible on a public wiki.

We particularly welcome submissions from members of underrepresented groups in the philosophy of science.

Applicants should submit: (1) A cover letter that indicates a Summer Archival Fellowship is sought and describes the month of proposed residence in the Center; note any previous fellowships held at the Center (2) A description of the research to be undertaken at the Archives of Scientific Philosophy during residence (1500 words) (3) A curriculum vitae (4) A letter of recommendation sent directly by email to the Center email, pittcntr@pitt.edu.
