The British School at Rome is a centre of interdisciplinary research excellence in the Mediterranean supporting the full range of arts, humanities and social sciences. Our highly competitive and prestigious awards have provided many leading scholars with a sustained period for in-depth research.

Applications are invited for two Senior Fellowships, for research on the archaeology, history, art history, society and culture of Italy from prehistory to the modern period, and on classical antiquity.

These Fellowships, which are tenable for three months between October 2017 and June 2018, offer accommodation in our residence, food and 24-hour access to our historic library collection.

These Fellowships are open to established scholars, normally in post in a UK university. In addition to pursuing personal research that will contribute to one of the BSR’s current research themes, the Fellows are expected to take an interest in the work of other award-holders at the BSR, particular those in fields close to their own.
