Graduate students are eligible to apply to IHUM in their third year of graduate study. The next round of applications will be due to Yolanda Sullivan in 206 Scheide-Caldwell House in November 2013. They should consist of the following elements, printed out and paper-clipped (not stapled) together:

• A completed application form, signed by your departmental Director of Graduate Studies. (Download the form here.)
   
• A five-hundred word description of your interdisciplinary interests as they bear on your dissertation work: in particular, the prospective researches or experience, outside of your departmental training, that warrant an additional year of support. The overriding criteria are intellectual seriousness and adventurousness.
   
• A twenty-page writing sample representative of your interests

You should also arrange for a one-paragraph recommendation from an advisor in your department, ordinarily one of your dissertation advisors, to be emailed directly to Yolanda Sullivan by the November 5 deadline.

When you submit your paper application, please also email an electronic copy (as a .doc or .pdf file) of the description of your interests and of the writing sample to Yolanda Sullivan (syolanda@princeton.edu).

Finalists will be invited for a brief interview in early December, and notifications will be made shortly after.
