> IEEE Fellowship In Electrical HistoryAcademic Year 2004/2005
>
> The IEEE Fellowship in Electrical History supports either one year of
> full-time graduate work in thehistory of electrical science and
> technology at a college or university of recognized standing, or up to
> one year of post-doctoral research for a scholar in this field who has
> received his Ph.D. within the past three years. This award is
> supported by the IEEE Life Members Committee. The stipend is $17,000,
> with a research budget of $3,000 also supplied.
>
> Candidates with undergraduate degrees in engineering, the sciences, or
> the humanities are eligible for the Fellowship. For pre-doctoral
> applicants, however, the award is conditional upon acceptance of the
> candidate into an appropriate graduate program in history at a school
> of recognized standing. In addition,
> pre-doctoral recipients may not hold or subsequently receive other
> fellowships, but they may earn up to $5,000 for work that is directly
> related to their graduate studies. Pre-doctoral Fellows must pursue
> full-time graduate work and evidence of satisfactory academic
> performance is required. These restrictions do not apply to
> post-doctoral applicants.
>
> The Fellow is selected on the basis of the candidate's potential for
> pursuing research in and contributing to electrical history.
> Application forms are available on-line or by request from the IEEE
> History Center (see contact information below). The deadline for
> completed applications is 1 February. This completed application
> packet should be sent to the Chairman, IEEE Fellowship in Electrical
> History Committee, IEEE History Center, RutgersThe State University

> IEEE History Center Internship2004
>
>
> Scholars at the beginning of their career studying the history of
> electrical technology and computing are invited to contact the Center
> to be considered for a paid Internship at the Center's offices on the
> Rutgers University campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
>
> The Intern program seeks to provide research experience for graduate
> students in the history of electrical and computer technologies, while
> enlisting the help of promising young scholars for the Center's
> projects. The Intern generally works full-time for two months at the
> History Center on a Center project that is connected to his or her own
> area of interest. This time is usually during the summer, but other
> arrangements will be considered. Interns are also encouraged to
> consult with the Center's staff and its associates, and guided to
> research resources in the area. The Internship is designed for those
> near the beginning or middle of their graduate careers, but advanced
> undergraduates, advanced graduates, and, on rare occasions, recent
> Ph.D.s will also be considered. Special consideration is often given
> to scholars from outside the United States who might not otherwise
> have an opportunity to visit historical resources in this country.
>
> The stipend paid to the intern is US$3,500. Additional funds may be
> available to defray travel costs, depending on the Intern’s
> circumstances. This Internship is supported by the IEEE Life Members
> Committee.
>
> There is no formal application form. To apply, please mail a
> curriculum vitae showing your studies in electrical history along with
> a cover letter describing the sort of project you would be interested
> in doing (see contact information below). The deadline for contacting
