The Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) at Harvard University offers two fellowships to postdoctoral researchers based in Greece and Cyprus. The program aims to support researchers whose work requires continued access to material on site (e.g. archives, artifacts, archaeological sites), and to encourage research of the highest quality on topics related to ancient Greek civilization. The fellowships are offered by the CHS in Washington, DC, and supported administratively and logistically by the CHS in Greece.

All fellows receive appointments for one year, beginning on June 1, 2022, and will receive access to the electronic resources of the Harvard library system for the duration of their fellowship.

Contingent on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, successful candidates will have the opportunity to visit the CHS offices in Nafplio, for up to 5 days, and in Washington, DC, for up to 10 days. If international travel is not possible due to the pandemic, the trip to Washington, DC will be cancelled and there will not be the option to defer the trip to a future year.

Eligibility

• Prerequisites for fellowships are a PhD degree (or its equivalent). Applicants must have defended their degree before July 1, 2021.
• Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of Greece or Cyprus.
• Applicants may not apply to other CHS related fellowship programs, such as the Fellowships in Hellenic Studies Program in Washington, DC, during the same application cycle.
