The University Library’s Center for Archival Research and Training (CART) invites applications for one graduate fellowship in the 2024-2025 academic year. The Fellow will be trained in archival theory and practice, make the collection of the Donna Haraway Papers available for research through archival processing, conduct research with Special Collections & Archives collections, curate a public exhibition, and co-organize programming around archives topics for the UCSC community. The Fellow will be expected to devote 20 hours per week to CART during Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters (September 2024 to June 2025), and not to hold teaching assistantships or other employment. Partial-year fellowships will not be awarded.

Amount: $29,125 stipend ($9,708 per academic quarter) plus in-state tuition, fees, and health insurance for the 2024-2025 academic year. This amount is subject to adjustment based on the 2024-2025 academic salary scales and graduate student cost to attend for California residents, in order to match current teaching assistantship funding.

Number of fellowships: 1

Eligibility: Currently enrolled in a graduate program at UCSC at least through June 2025. (at least five credits, not on leave or filing fee, in good academic standing, within normative time).
