W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research, Jerusalem
ANDREW W. MELLON RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS 2011-2012
The Albright Institute, the oldest American research center in the Middle East, provides an unparalleled international cultural environment and a unique program which spans the broad spectrum of Near Eastern studies from prehistory to the early Islamic period. This includes the disciplines of archaeology, anthropology, art history, Bible, historical geography, history, and ancient languages and literature, religion and related subjects.
One to two three-month Mellon fellowships are available in any area within the interests of the Albright. Fellowships are open to Bulgarian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Rumanian, and Slovak post-doctoral researchers. The purpose is to give Eastern European scholars in the humanities an opportunity to broaden their knowledge of current research in Near Eastern Studies in Israel, to provide them with scholarly resources not available to them in their home institutions, and to offer them opportunities to interact with both local and foreign scholars through the Albright’s fellowship program.
Each fellowship award of $11,500 is administered for the Mellon Foundation by the Council of American Overseas Research Centers. Applications must be received by March 15, 2011.
