The Center CIRCL Fellowship Program is a two-year, in-person opportunity open to Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who are studying and working in ethical relation to Indigenous communities. Center CIRCL will select up to two undergraduates, two doctoral students, and two or three faculty members within NYU as well as a community-based researcher who is unaffiliated with NYU. To be eligible, participants must agree to hold their role for the entire two years, and be present in New York City for all of year one, and most of year two. See below and check out our website to learn about other aspects of eligibility and benefits for each kind of fellowship.

For the 2025-2027 Center CIRCL Fellows opportunity, applicants are asked to meaningfully connect their proposed projects to the biennial theme "This City is So Indigenous".

Applicants can learn more about the types of fellows, the application process, and the biennial theme on the fellowship website here

Please share this information and opportunity with promising potential applicants.

Connect your work to our biennial theme

Center CIRCL hopes to appoint a cohort of Center CIRCL Fellow doing research in connection to our upcoming biennial theme, “This City is So Indigenous,” about the Indigenous history, present, and future of New York City.

There are many ways to connect your research to the biennial theme. For example, projects might attend to the Lenape communities here and in diaspora,  their histories and their ongoing presence and futures. Projects might also attend to the global diversity of Indigenous peoples and families living in New York, including youth and families from the Latin American diaspora, and other communities.
