The Charles A. Lindbergh Chair in Aerospace History is a competitive 12-month fellowship open to senior scholars with distinguished records of publication who are at work on, or anticipate being at work on, books in aerospace history. Tenure is typically for an academic year (September through August). Residency in the Washington, DC area is a requirement. Appointments cannot be automatically extended and typically are not renewable. Three letters of reference are required. The research proposal statement should set forth the research plan, indicating the importance of the work both in relation to the larger discipline and to the applicant's own intellectual goals. The proposal must contain the applicant's evaluation of the contributions that Museum staff members are expected to make to your studies, and indicate what Museum collections, special facilities, and other resources are needed. In addition, the proposal must also provide justification for the research-related expenses included in the research budget. We encourage the inclusion of an annotated historiographical introduction to the subject field of your proposal. Applications are due December 1 and references are due by December 15 for a term that begins nearly two years later. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
