The Computational Literary Studies Infrastructure (CLS Infra) has opened the second call for applications for the TNA Fellowships. The CLS Infra Fellowship Program provides access to a wide range of data, tools, and knowledge. Scholars from literary studies with an interest in computational literary studies methods are invited to apply for a fellowship grant.

Selected fellows will obtain free-of-charge physical access to the infrastructure and will become part of the larger CLS community. Fellows will have the opportunity to interact with experts, receive advice on ongoing projects, learn how to use the ecosystem of data, tools, and standards, assemble new literary corpora, and profit from hands-on training and support.

Typically, fellowship grants cover housing and subsistence costs as well as travel to and from the host institution. Successful applicants are expected to join the chosen infrastructure for a period of 4 to 12 weeks. Shorter residencies will be also taken into consideration.

The second call for applications is open from Monday 18 April 2022 until Monday 23 May 2022. Find more information about the fellowship program, including the participating host institutions and the application procedure here.

Computational Literary Studies Infrastructure (CLS INFRA) has opened the call for applications for their Transnational Access Fellowships (TNA).  

CLS INFRA is a European Commission-funded project which aims to create unified and easy access to a wide range of European and national infrastructures for the Computational Literary Studies community. The overall aim of the project is to create unified and easy access to a wide range of European and national infrastructures for the Computational Literary Studies community. This includes: connecting the building of resources and infrastructure, providing training environments and networks, and promoting the theoretical considerations of these resources and infrastructures. A key part of this aim is the provision of Transnational Access Fellowships (TNA), which aims to provides access to a wide range of data, tools, and knowledge. 

Scholars from literary studies or with an interest in Computational Literary Studies methods are invited to apply for a fellowship grant under one of the infrastructure providers. Successful applicants will not only obtain free-of-charge physical access to the infrastructure, but in the context of the overall project they will become part of the larger CLS community. By responding to one of the calls, applicants may have the opportunity to:
