Graduate Student Fellowship: The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts Fellowship in Food History at the University of North Texas
The UNT Department of History (https://history.unt.edu/) is soliciting applications for a graduate student fellowship in food history (either at the MA or PhD level) funded by the Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts. All students interested in pursuing a graduate degree in History and in conducting research in any area of food history are invited to apply. The $5,000 annual stipend is renewable for one additional year upon satisfactory academic performance. Awardees are also eligible to apply for a teaching assistantship in the Department of History which provides an additional stipend and partial tuition waiver (http://history.unt.edu/graduate-program/funding-overview).
While earning their graduate degree in History, the Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts Fellow will also have the opportunity to participate in career-building activities such as promoting UNT’s food studies initiatives, gaining teaching experience in food history classrooms, and presenting their research in public forums.
Interested candidates must first apply for admission to UNT’s Toulouse Graduate School and then to the UNT Department of History’s graduate program (links to both online applications are available here: https://apply.history.unt.edu). After completing these applications, candidates should also submit a letter of application describing their qualifications and research interests in food history. This letter should be submitted alongside an “Application for Departmental Scholarships” (being sure to check the box for this fellowship) that will be available after December 1st, 2020, at the following URL: http://history.unt.edu/graduate-program/funding-financial-aid/departmental-scholarships.
The deadline for all applications is January 15th, 2021.
