The Alistair Horne Fellowship provides membership of St Antony's College and financial assistance to a candidate who is researching or writing a significant book on a topic of modern history. Young historians and first authors are encouraged to apply.
The Fellowship carries a research grant which is in the order of £10,000. However, its objective is not only financial. As a Senior Member of St Antony's College, the Fellow is entitled to use the College library and research centres, and is encouraged to play a full part in the College's academic and social life, as well as that of the University as a whole.
The Fellow for the academical year 2009-10 will be elected early in 2009. Applications should include a brief covering letter, a brief curriculum vitae, a description of the proposed book not to exceed ten pages, an indication of the author's plans for the year, and the names and contact details of two referees. Please note that doctoral students completing their theses will not normally be considered. Applications should be sent to the Warden, St Antony's College, Oxford, OX2 6JF (email penny.cooke@sant.ox.ac.uk). Further particulars can be found at http://www.sant.ox.ac.uk/people/fellowships.html. The deadline for applications is 1 November 2008.
