Department of History

Beginning in the fall of 2007, the Georgetown University History Department will offer a full fellowship each year to a Ph.D. student in environmental history.  Students interested in any and all historical periods, any and all geographical regions, and any and all themes within environmental history are encouraged to apply.  The fellowship includes a five-year stipend, currently of slightly over $18,000 per year, plus health insurance coverage.  Fellows will learn about the nuts and bolts of academic life through work as teaching assistants in history courses, and perhaps in environmental studies courses, in most years while holding the fellowship.  However in some years they may instead work as research assistants.  Inquiries: Prof. J.R. McNeill (mcneillj@georgetown.edu).
