NEH Postdoctoral Fellowships may be awarded for a period of four to nine months. The stipend is $5,000 per month.
Doctoral candidates must have completed all degree requirements, except for the actual conferral of the degree, by the application deadline.

Program in Early American Economy and Society Postdoctoral Fellowships
Program in Early American Economy and Society (PEAES) Postdoctoral Fellowships support research in the collections of the Library Company, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and other nearby institutions into the origins and development of early American political economy, broadly conceived, to roughly 1850. The fellowships provide scholars the opportunity to investigate such topics as history of commerce, finance, technology, manufacturing, agriculture, internal improvements, and economic policy making.
The stipend is $50,000 for the academic year (September to May) or $25,000 for the fall or spring semester. Fellows must reside in the Philadelphia area for the duration of their fellowship. Fellows may avail themselves of the opportunity for a book manuscript workshop to be held remotely or in Philadelphia as conditions allow.
Scholars at any stage of their career are welcome to apply. Doctoral candidates must have completed all degree requirements, except for the actual conferral of the degree, by September 1 of the year of residency. While applicants may be citizens of any country, the Library Company is not able to provide visa sponsorship.
