The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Buddhism Public Scholars and New Professorships in Buddhist Studies is accepting applications

The American Council of Learned Studies is accepting applications through 9 PM EST January 27 for the Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Buddhism Public Scholars and New Professorships. The Foundation, of course, was founded by the philanthropist and patron of contemporary Buddhism, Robert H. N. Ho, who passed away November 30, 2025, at the age of 93. (Read Buddhadharma‘s announcement of his passing.)

And as ACLS notes, “This year we have partnered with two international host organizations to create exciting opportunities for our global community of Buddhist Studies scholars: Lion’s Roar in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and The Courtauld Institute of Art in London, UK.

“ACLS will place up to five early-career scholars of Buddhism in one-year professional positions with host institutions that present and interpret knowledge of Buddhist traditions. The selected Buddhism Public Scholars will use their academic knowledge and professional experience to bolster the capacity of museums and publishers in Buddhist art and thought in any tradition and location where Buddhism is practiced.”
