Apply!

Participation is restricted to 1) graduate students ideally in the dissertation stage, 2) junior academics within five years of receiving their PhD who have not published their first monograph and 3) independent scholars who have yet to publish a book but aim to contribute to an academic discipline.

We reserve one spot for a more senior scholar who can complement the mentoring of the directors while also working on their writing project.

To be considered, candidates must submit an application. They should upload a CV as well as a ~500 word cover letter that addresses the following:

1. The applicant’s background and a brief description of the proposed dissertation/book project, including sources and methodology and stage of the project.

2. An explanation for why the applicant would be a good fit for this program, and what they hope to get from it.

3. Preferences and needs for accommodations. (Is the applicant comfortable with a shared room, or require a private bedroom? Does the applicant need additional transportation help? NOTE: Bedrooms are upstairs with no elevator.)

Applicants must also have one letter of reference sent from an academic advisor or mentor to eugene.england.institute@gmail.com.

Applications, including reference letters, will be accepted beginning January 1, 2027. All materials are due by February 15, 2027. Notice of acceptance or rejection will be made by early March.
