Fellows Body Text

Our Fellowship Programs

The Institute provides support to scholars and students through a variety of fellowship opportunities. Learn about some of our programs and see which may be a right fit for you.

Scholars in Residence

The Yom Hashoah Scholar in Residence program brings in one leading international scholar per year for a 1-2 week residency at the Institute’s offices at USC for consultation and conversation with our directors, staff, and the USC community, to enrich the community’s understanding of the causes and consequences of genocide.

Teaching Fellows

The Teaching Fellows program provides financial support and staff assistance to faculty members who wish to use the Institute’s life-history testimonies in their new or existing courses. Fellows spend 10-15 hours in guided research and consultation with Institute staff as they craft their course syllabi. Following the fellowship period Fellows give a staff talk based on their work and findings and submit their final syllabus for archiving.
