Applying to EITM 2024
The EITM Institute will select participants through a competitive process.
- Midnight, Eastern Standard Time, Friday, March 8, 2024.
- Applicants will be notified of decisions by late March.
- All application materials should be sent in PDF format.
A complete application consists of the following three components:
- Brief statement of interest and purpose in applying for the summer program (1-2 pages).
- Curriculum Vitae with name and contact information, current location and position. If you are a student, the CV should indicate your current status in graduate school (e.g., whether you’ve passed exams and defended a dissertation proposal).
- Two letters of recommendation. Letter writers will be automatically contacted for their letters.
We intend to accept about 24 participants — mostly advanced graduate students who are past their general exams, preferably with a completed dissertation prospectus or plan but not yet at the writing-up stage. We will also accept some junior faculty, preferably at a stage where they are wishing to add research to a defended dissertation before publication, or embarking on a second project. Applicants will be notified of our acceptance decisions (via e-mail).
Tuition and full financial support (including a stipend for round-trip airfare and dormitory housing, as necessary, plus a modest allowance for meals and incidentals) are provided for U.S. participants and for foreign students studying at U.S. institutions. A substantial portion of international participants’ expenses will also be covered. Please note that in order to receive program support, EITM Institute participants will need to be in residence for the duration of the program.
