The NEH-Hagley Fellowship for highly talented prospective students to pursue postdoctoral degree programme in the USA. Two postdoctoral fellowships are available, one of four months and one for eight months.

Located on 235 acres along the banks of the Brandywine in Wilmington, Delaware, Hagley is the site of the gunpowder works founded by E. I. du Pont in 1802. This example of early American industry includes restored mills, a workers’ community, and the ancestral home and gardens of the du Pont family. Hagley’s library furthers the study of business and technology in America. The collections include individuals’ papers and companies’ records ranging from eighteenth-century merchants to modern telecommunications and illustrate the impact of the business system on society.

A monthly stipend of $5000 and complimentary lodging in housing on Hagley’s property.
