2016-2017 Greenberg Research Fellowship for PhD Candidates
Deadline: February 29th, 2016

The USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research invites research proposals from advanced standing Ph.D. candidates for its 2016-2017 Margee and Douglas Greenberg Research Fellowship. The fellowship provides $4,000 support for dissertation research focused on testimony from the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive, a collection of over 53,000 video testimonies of survivors and witnesses of the Holocaust and other genocides, including the Rwandan, Armenian, Guatemalan genocides and the Nanjing Massacre in China. The incumbent will spend up to one month in residence at the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research during the 2016-2017 academic year.

Award decisions for this fellowship will be based on the originality of the proposal and its potential to advance research with testimonies in the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive. The fellow will be expected to provide the Center with fresh perspectives, to play a role in Center activities, and to give a public talk during the stay.

To submit an application, please send a cover letter, CV, proposal abstract (1-3 pages), writing sample, and recommendation letter from your PhD advisor by February 29th, 2016 to cagr@usc.edu.
