The MLA International Bibliography invites applications to its 3-year field bibliography fellowship programs. The deadline for application is 15 March 2022.

Field bibliographers examine scholarly publications and create citations and indexing for inclusion in the MLA International Bibliography. Field bibliographers perform an important service for the profession while deepening their knowledge of their fields, honing their research skills, and exploring new areas of inquiry.

Fellowships are for a three-year period, beginning 1 July 2022 and ending 30 June 2025, and require fellows to submit at least one hundred citations per year for the duration.  Up to ten fellowships are awarded annually.

The basic criteria for application are:

1. MLA membership
2. MA or Ph.D. in a relevant field
3. Access to scholarly publications for indexing.

The program is open to both current and potential field bibliographers.

On completion of the fellowship, fellows receive a stipend of $500 and a certificate presented at the MLA Convention awards ceremony. For fellows attending training sessions at the MLA Annual Convention, conference registration fees are waived.

To apply, please submit a current résumé or CV along with a letter of request indicating your qualifications, your reasons for applying, and how you heard about the fellowship. 

Applications or questions may be addressed to Chriselle Tidrick, Coordinator of Contributing Scholars Programs, ctidrick@mla.org.  For more information, please visit the MLA Bibliography Fellowships Web page.

Please also consider posting and sharing the attached fliers in your library or department. (One is designed for physical posting, with the relevant URL written out, while the other is designed for electronic sharing, with an embedded URL.)

Regards,
