Specializing in literature, photography, film, art, and the performing arts, the Harry Ransom Center’s extensive collections include: 42 million manuscripts; nearly one million rare books; 5 million photographs – including the first ever photograph; 100,000 works of art and design; as well as major collections in film and the performing arts. The Center's collections are searchable on their website (opens in a new window). The Center’s notable holdings include: • The Magnum Photos Collection • A large collection of rare and valuable comic books • The Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein Watergate papers • Three copies of the First Folio of William Shakespeare's plays • Paintings by Frida Kahlo; a complete set of Picasso's Vollard Suite • Extensive manuscript collections of David Foster Wallace, Lewis Carroll, Doris Lessing, Aleister Crowley, James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence, Anne Sexton and Graham Greene • Archives of Robert De Niro, Tom Stoppard, Harry Houdini and David O. Selznick - including Gone with the Wind costumes, scripts, storyboards and screen tests. The Harry Ransom Center (the Center/HRC) supports research through symposia and fellowships and provides education and enrichment for scholars, students, and the public through exhibitions and programs. The Center has its own Conservation Department which is charged with the care and preservation of its collections; its staff are active and expert researchers in conservation techniques. In addition to the Center’s world-class collections, facilities and scholars, IPS fellows can take advantage of the world-class resources at the University of Texas at Austin, including access to university libraries and a reduced-rate gym membership, among other privileges. More information is available in A Guide for HRC Fellows (PDF 488KB, opens in a new window) on the AHRC IPS webpage on HRC's website (opens in a new window). Short videos and blogs from past HRC fellows are available on the Ransom Center’s website (opens in a new window). THE INTERNATIONAL PLACEMENT SCHEME Aims of the Scheme 1. The aims of the International Placement Scheme are: • to provide early career researchers (ECR), doctoral level research assistants and AHRC/ESRC*- funded doctoral students, with dedicated access to the internationally renowned collections/ programmes/ expertise held at the four IPS institutions; • to enhance the depth, range and quality of research activities conducted by scholars; • to create opportunities for networking with other international scholars at those institutions. Harry Ransom Center Placement Information 2. For 2016/17, there are up to five IPS placements available at the Harry Ransom Center. 3. IPS HRC fellowships are for two to three months and must take place in one block of time. Fellows can start from 1st September 2016 and must finish by 31st May 2017. When choosing dates, applicants should consult the holiday and closure dates on the AHRC IPS page on HRC's website (opens in a new window). 4. In addition to access to HRC’s research collections, facilities and scholars, IPS fellowships include: An IPS stipend comprising: - Travel stipend of up to £750, plus visa fees paid - Living stipend of £1200 for each month of the fellowship A shared office 5. The IPS stipend will be paid as a lump sum to IPS fellows’ ROs in the financial quarter after their fellowship starts. IPS fellows will therefore need to arrange with their RO to receive their funds in advance of their placement start date to allow them to pay for flights etc prior to leaving for their placement. IPS fellows will continue to receive any stipend/salary they receive as part of any current AHRC award funding. 6. IPS fellowships are to carry out primary research; placements cannot be used for writing up. Applicants’ proposed research must be within the remit of the AHRC and, for doctoral students, must be relevant to their AHRC-funded research. 7. IPS placements must be accommodated within the funded period of a PhD student’s AHRC award. This disqualifies students, who are not ECRs, from applying in their unfunded writing up year. 8. For candidates with current AHRC funding, no additional time will be added to the AHRC award end date or submission date to compensate for time spent on the IPS. 9. Before applying, candidates must ensure that their RO/supervisor/Head of Dept/mentor etc will be content to release them for the placement should their application be successful. 10. IPS fellowships cannot be extended or reduced, so careful consideration must be given to the time required to do the proposed research. Applicants should discuss their work plan with their supervisor and the HRC to ensure that the research can be completed within a realistic timescale, and will appropriately feed into the applicant’s current research or any AHRC parent project 11. Deferred entry applications are not permitted. Applicants should only apply to HRC if they are able to accept a placement of two to three months, between 1st September 2016 and 31st May 2017. Should a successful applicant be unable to go during this time, they would have to decline their place and re-apply the following year. In this instance, their application would be re-assessed alongside all the new applications for that year and a successful outcome could not be guaranteed. 12. Applicants MUST identify the HRC collections they propose to consult. Familiarising themselves with the collections relevant to their own research, and demonstrating in their application how and why the identified collections are relevant to their proposed research should be a priority for applicants. Only after they thoroughly researched the Center’s in-depth collection descriptions and finding aids online, may candidates contact the Harry Ransom Center to discuss their application. The Center cannot support speculative requests for information where the candidate has not carried out their own research on the Center’s collections. The deadline for candidates to initiate contact with the Center is 1st December 2015. After that, the Center cannot guarantee a response before the IPS deadline. Please contact only one curator or librarian to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort. If more than one collection is involved, Center staff will ensure that your message is properly forwarded.
