Beth and Arthur Lev Student Research Fellowship

 

Description

The USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research invites research proposals from USC undergraduate students and USC graduate students for the 2026 Beth and Arthur Lev Student Research Fellowship. The fellowship provides $1,500 support for USC undergraduate students or $3,000 support for USC graduate students from any academic discipline doing research focused on the testimonies of the Visual History Archive and/or other related USC resources and collections. (Read more about these resources below.) The Beth and Arthur Lev Student Research Fellow will be expected to be in residence at the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research during Spring 2026 (10 hours per week for 15 weeks). The distribution of these hours is negotiable. For students who wish to conduct research during Summer 2026 or Fall 2026, please apply during the application period in Spring 2026. (Applications will open at the end of January 2026.) The Lev Student Research Fellow will be expected to play a role in the activities of the Center and to give a public presentation based on their work and findings during the following academic year (2026-2027). Award decisions for the fellowship will be based on the originality of the research proposal and the centrality of USC resources to the research project.
