Belofsky Fellowships in Holocaust Studies
The University of Texas at Dallas welcomes applications from exceptionally well-qualified students for appointment as the Belofsky Graduate Fellow in The Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies of the School of Arts & Humanities. This scholarship is open to students who want to work on topics related to the Holocaust and its consequences, and who have been accepted to the Ph. D. program of the School of Arts and Humanities at the University of Texas at Dallas. We welcome both American and international students.
The School of Arts & Humanities offers a Ph.D. in Humanities with concentrations in Aesthetic Studies, History of Ideas, and Studies in Literature, with each of them emphasizing interdisciplinary study and research. The Holocaust Studies Program spans a multi-faceted curriculum, and is enriched by the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies, the Leah and Paul Lewis Chair in Holocaust Studies, the Burton C. Einspruch Holocaust Lecture Series, and the Arnold A. Jaffe Holocaust Book Collection. Belofsky Fellows will have the opportunity to pursue doctoral studies under the supervision of Dr. Zsuzsanna Ozsvath, Dr. Nils Roemer, or Dr. David Patterson.
Belofsky Fellows receive 12-month stipends of $20,000 along with complete remission of all UT Dallas tuition and fees annually for up to five years, subject to satisfactory progress toward the Ph.D. degree. Fellows have no required teaching responsibilities or other work assignments.
Applications should include a statement of purpose (approximately 650 words), a CV, a full transcript, a scholarly writing sample (5-25 pages) on a topic related to the Holocaust, modern Jewish culture, or comparative perspectives on the American and European Jewish experience, and three recommendation forms from current or former college instructors able to judge your probable success in the doctoral program.
