The Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) at Harvard University offers fellowship opportunities for the 2021-22 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, linguistics, literary criticism, the natural and physical sciences, philology, philosophy, political science, religious studies, and 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.

Applicants should note that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may impact the fellowship program. During the 2021-22 academic year, if any fellows are unable to travel to Washington, DC due to the pandemic, they will have the option to work remotely and take up the fellowship from home. Deferral requests will not be accepted.

Researchers who have achieved a terminal degree in their discipline (e.g. PhD, MFA, EdD) are eligible to apply. Applicants must have defended their degree before July 1, 2020.
