The Yale Institute of Sacred Music
FYI:
I received a notice about a new fellowship program at Yale. Perhaps some of you have a friend or student or colleague who would be interested in applying. Here is the flyer information:
The Yale Institute of Sacred Music is pleased to announce the creation of the ISM Fellows in Sacred Music, Worship, and the Arts.
Inspired by other great centers for advanced study, the ISM Fellows in Sacred Music, Worship, and the Arts will advance scholarship and creative work consistent with the Institute’s mission and create a network of leaders working across national, cultural, disciplinary, and religious boundaries. Fellows will have the opportunity to pursue their scholarly or artistic projects within a vibrant, interdisciplinary community of scholars, practitioners, and performers at Yale, and build a powerful international network.
Benefits include:
- Stipend of up to $60,000 for the academic year
- Relocation expenses to Yale University up to $5,000
- Opportunity to teach
- Full access to Yale’s vast academic resources
- Research grants
Scholars, religious leaders, and artists whose work is in or is moving to the fields of sacred music, liturgical/ritual studies, or religion and the arts are invited to apply. Scholars in the humanities or the social or natural sciences whose work is directly related to these areas are also encouraged to apply. Fellowships are for one academic year in residence. The application deadline for the 2010-11 academic year is November 2, 2009.
