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; this is currently under review and there is the possibility of it being increased for 2008-09. 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 2008-09 will be elected early in 2008. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a description of the proposed book, an indication of the author's plans for the year, and the names of two referees and should be sent to the Warden, St Antony's College, Oxford, OX2 6JF (tel. 01865 274527, e-mail penny.cooke@sant.ox.ac.uk). Further particulars can be found at http://www.sant.ox.ac.uk/people/fellowships.shtml. The deadline for applications is 30 November 2007.
