The Alistair Horne Fellowship provides membership of St Antony’s College and financial assistance to a candidate who is researching or writing a significant book on a topic of modern history. Young historians and first authors are encouraged to apply.
The Fellowship carries an expenses allowance which is in the order of £10,000. However, its objective is not only financial. As a Senior Member of St Antony’s College, the Fellow is entitled to use the College library and research centres, and is encouraged to play a full part in the College’s academic and social life, as well as that of the University as a whole.
The Fellow for the academic year 2012/13 will be elected early in 2012. Applications would include a brief covering letter, a brief curriculum vitae not to exceed four pages, a description of the proposed book not to exceed 10 pages, an indication of the author’s plans for the year, and the names and contact details of two referees. Please note that doctoral students who intend to use the year to complete their theses are not eligible. Nor do we encourage applicants who merely want to prepare their completed theses for publication rather than producing a book designed to appeal to a general readership. Applications should be sent by email only to: The Warden, St Antony’s College, Oxford OX2 6JF. Email penny.cooke@sant.ox.ac.uk. Further particulars can be found by clicking the link.
