The Museum’s Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies announces Virtual Scholar Ukraine Stipend Program for researchers and faculty, who are currently living in Ukraine. The program aims to advance Holocaust research and education by supporting research projects with a focus on Jewish life before, during and after the Holocaust and development of university-level courses.
Each award is up to three months with a stipend of $2,000 per month (up to $6,000). These research stipends are virtual (i.e., they are non-residential in nature and do not require travel and/or visas).
Researchers will become part of a community that meets virtually on a weekly basis to discuss their research and teaching and utilizes the Museum’s extensive digital collections to further their work. Recognizing the challenges faced by scholars in a country experiencing war – including power outages and disruptions to internet connectivity – the program allows for flexibility and may extend beyond the initial period to accommodate individual circumstances.
Applications consist of the following documents:
An online application form
A curriculum vitae (in pdf format, not to exceed four pages)
A project proposal (in pdf format, not more than 1000 words).
Applications can be submitted in English or Ukrainian language.
The deadline is March 15, 2025.
The program will begin in May. Program participants may not hold other funded awards concurrently with this scholarship. During their award period, recipients may not conduct other paid work for the Museum.
For more information, please contact Natalya Lazar, Program Officer, International Academic Programs, nlazar@ushmm.org
This program is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Piotr and Basheva Polsky Memorial Initiative for the Study of Ukrainian Jewry.
