Call for Applications: The David B. Larson Fellowship in Health and Spirituality
The John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress is now accepting
applications for the David B. Larson Fellowship in Health and
Spirituality<http://www.loc.gov/loc/kluge/fellowships/larson.html>. The
application deadline is April 17, 2014.
The Larson Fellowship is a post-doctoral fellowship for advanced research
in the field of health and spirituality. Made possible by a generous
endowment from the International Center for the Integration of Health and
Spirituality (ICIHS), the fellowship is named in honor of the Center's
late founder, David B. Larson, an epidemiologist and psychiatrist, who
focused on potentially relevant but understudied factors which might help
in prevention, coping, and recovering from illness. The fellowship is
designed to continue Dr. Larson's legacy of promoting meaningful,
scholarly study of these two important and increasingly interrelated
fields. It seeks to encourage the pursuit of scholarly excellence in the
scientific study of the relation of religiousness and spirituality to
physical, mental, and social health.
Conducting full time research on-site at the Library of Congress, the
fellowship provides an opportunity for a period of 6 to 12 months of
concentrated use of the collections of the Library of Congress, through
full-time residency in the Library's John W. Kluge Center. A stipend of
$4,200 per month supports the Fellow.
