The Department of History is delighted to announce the creation of the Burds Fellowship Program. The Fellowship Program is named in honor of Professor Jeffrey Burds. Professor Burds was a dedicated teacher and mentor. He advised dozens of undergraduate research projects and inspired many students to pursue lifelong historical research.
The program provides a group of undergraduate history students the opportunity to engage in genuine historical research by paired with Northeastern history faculty. Fellows will assist faculty with their research projects.
If you are interested in joining the first cohort of Burds fellows (Sept-Dec 2025), you can find the application here. Students will need to submit a resume, brief statement, and fill out the included info sheet. Applications are due BY April 5.
For any questions, please reach out to Administrative Assistant Grace Dolan at m.dolan@northeastern.edu
