Long-Term Fellowships

The Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) offers several long-term fellowships for scholars studying the history and sociology of the chemical and molecular sciences, technologies, and industries. Long-term fellows are in residence at CHF for the entire academic year (September–May). All long-term fellows are provided with a private office, a computer, and a direct telephone line. There are two kinds of long-term fellowships: one for postdoctoral scholars and one for Ph.D. candidates at the dissertation stage.
