The Paul Klemperer Fellowship in the History of Medicine

To support work in history and the humanities as they relate to health, medicine, and the biomedical sciences. The Klemperer Fellowship supports research using the Academy Library as a historical resource. It is intended specifically for a scholar in residence in the collections of the Academy Library.

Besides completing research or a creative project, each Fellow will be expected to make a presentation at the Academy and submit a final report on the project. We invite applications from anyone – regardless of citizenship, academic discipline, or academic status – who wishes to use the Academy’s collections for historical research or for a scholarly or creative project in the medical humanities. Preference will be given to:

Those who show the need to use resources that are uniquely available at the Academy

Scholars or creative artists in the early stages of their careers.
