The Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) offers fellowship opportunities for the 2019-20 academic year. All fellows receive appointments for one year, beginning in July, and receive full access to the resources of the Harvard library system for the duration of their fellowship. Applications are accepted for individual and collaborative projects.

The purpose of the fellowship program is to encourage and support research of the highest quality on topics related to ancient Greek civilization. The proposed research may be approached through any discipline including, but not limited to, area and ethnic studies, anthropology, archaeology, art history, education, history, literary criticism, the natural and physical sciences, philology, philosophy, political science, religious studies, sociology, as well as related subfields.

The fellowship program aims to foster interaction among researchers from diverse backgrounds and regions of the world, and places an emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches that reflect the evolving nature of Hellenic studies.

The program provides for flexibility in terms of residency at the CHS and levels of financial support. The fellowship program manager will work with successful candidates to determine the exact terms of their appointments.

Researchers in Greece and Cyprus whose work requires continued access to material on site (e.g. archives, artifacts, archaeological sites) may apply for a non-residential fellowship. Successful candidates will report on a regular basis to a senior fellow and will have the opportunity to visit the CHS offices in Nafplio and in Washington, DC.

The CHS welcomes proposals from two or more researchers working on separate, but related projects.

The CHS welcomes proposals from teams of two or more researchers working on collaborative, interdisciplinary projects. Examples of projects include co-written and co-edited volumes, data processing, database development, and website development.
