YALE UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF SACRED MUSIC SHORT TERM FELLOWSHIPS
Each year, the Institute brings a group of Long-term and Short-term Fellows from around the world to join its community of scholars and artists. In our flagship program, Long-term Fellows are in residence at the Institute for one year to pursue interdisciplinary projects and teach at Yale. Short-term Fellows are in residence at Yale for a period of one to three months to pursue research in relevant Yale collections. The Yale Institute of Sacred Music supports short-term fellowships in Yale collections for research on the aural, material, visual, ritual, and textual cultures of religions. Fellowships are available both for doctoral students who are at the dissertation stage and for any other scholars who hold a Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree. They are granted for a consecutive one- to three-month period at any time during the academic year when the collections are open to the public.
