The University of Cambridge Centre for Greek Studies offers a number of postdoctoral Visiting Fellowships each academic year. Each Visiting Fellow is appointed for one academic term and receives access to the University of Cambridge library system for the duration of their fellowship.

The purpose of the fellowship program is to encourage and support research of the highest quality in the field of Greek Studies. This field covers the languages, cultures and history of the people of the Greek peninsula and their near  or diaspora from the 2nd millennium BCE to the present, or of the reception of the above in an adjacent field in the humanities including, but not restricted to, history, education, literary criticism, divinity, law, and architecture. It also covers comparative scholarship involving Greek Studies.

The fellowships are intended to help diverse scholars from around the world share ideas and forge new partnerships in a vibrant, cross-disciplinary context. The Centre particularly encourages innovative scholarship in the broad field of Greek studies, via fresh diachronic, synchronic, comparative, methodological or theoretical perspectives.

Applicants must

• have, or be in the process of building, an academic career;
• hold a doctorate gained at least five years before the intended start of the Visiting Fellowship;
• be employed by a higher education institution;
• be actively involved in the research-level study of the languages, cultures and history of the people of the Greek peninsula and their diaspora from the 2nd millennium BCE to the present, or of the reception of the above in an adjacent field in the humanities;
• be proficient in English.
