Deadline: 28th November 2025

Applications are open for the next edition of the Queen Jadwiga Fellowship in Polish Studies at the Bodleain Libraries University of Oxford for 2025–26.

The Queen Jadwiga Visiting Fellowship in Polish Studies supports a research visit to Bodleian Special Collections for research in Polish studies.

Applicants are invited to submit research topics pertaining to any aspect of Polish culture and history which can be supported with reference to the collections of the Bodleian Libraries, including the Taylorian Library. 

The Bodleian Libraries would particularly welcome applications which draw upon resources not readily available elsewhere. Relevant collections connected with the history and culture of Poland include, for example, but not exclusively, medieval manuscripts, early modern documents, maps and letters, modern archives and the ‘Libri Polonici’ special collection of printed books, mostly of the 16th century. 

Polish studies at the University of Oxford are represented in the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages and in the Faculty of Modern History.
