The University of Cambridge Library Syndicate invites applications for two Munby Fellowships in Bibliography for the tenure of 1 October 2024 to 31 July 2025.
The Munby Fellows will be free to pursue research of their choosing in any area of the wide fields of Bibliography and the History of the Book. It is, however, expected that the Fellows' research will be, at least in part, based directly or indirectly on the collections of the University and Colleges of Cambridge and likely to be of benefit, in the broadest sense, to scholars using those collections in the future. The Fellows are also expected to participate fully in the life and activities of the University Library, e.g. through participation in the Library's research and public engagement programmes (comprising activities such as talks, seminars, displays, participation in social media, and other events).
The Fellowship is open to graduates in any discipline of any university and nationality. The Munby Fellowship is open to graduates in any discipline, of any university or nationality. Preference will be given to scholars at post-doctoral or an equivalent level.
