The Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) offers up to five 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, 2024, and will receive access to the electronic resources of the Harvard library system for the duration of their fellowship.

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. 

The fellowship award includes a stipend, which may be used at the discretion of the fellow to support their research and the execution of the project. Additionally, the CHS will cover limited travel expenses (airfare and accommodations) for each fellow’s visit to Nafplio and to Washington, DC. 

Prerequisites for fellowships are a PhD degree (or its equivalent). Applicants must have defended their degree before July 1, 2023.

Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of Greece or Cyprus and will reside there during the fellowship in order to conduct the research outlined in their application.
