PRINCETON UNIVERSITY Program in Hellenic Studies

POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS in HELLENIC STUDIES Academic Year 1998-99

The Program in Hellenic Studies at Princeton University invites applications for two post-doctoral fellowships: (1) the Hannah Seeger Davis Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Hellenic Studies (one academic year); and (2) the Mary Seeger O'Boyle Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Hellenic Studies (one semester or academic year).

These fellowships are normally awarded annually on a competitive basis to young scholars in Hellenic Studies, with a special emphasis on Byzantine and/or Modern Greek Studies, including their relation to the Classical tradition. In addition the Program may offer up to two new fellowships: (1) the Princeton University Program in Hellenic Studies/Foundation for Hellenic Studies Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Modern Greek Studies for scholars in the social sciences (one semester); and (2) the Princeton University Program in Hellenic Studies/Foundation for Hellenic Culture Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Modern Greek Studies for scholars in the social sciences (one semester or academic year).

The stipends will be $33,000 for the academic year (term of residence September 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999) and $16,500 for one semester (term of residence September 1, 1998 to January 31, 1999 or February 1, 1999 to June 30, 1999).

Those selected for these fellowships will spend a semester or academic year in residence at Princeton for the purpose of revising their dissertation for publication as a book or for another research project specified in their application. Fellows will be invited to participate in the activities of the Program and in the intellectual life of the University. They will enjoy full access to the University's library, archival, and computing resources.

Preference will be given to candidates who do not currently hold a tenure-track academic appointment at another institution and who have completed all the requirements for the doctoral degree by June 1, 1998 but no earlier than June 1, 1993. Candidates from all humanities and social science disciplines will be considered.

Hellenic Studies Post-Doctoral Fellows will be selected by the Committee on Hellenic Studies. Candidates should submit only one application, including a curriculum vitae, samples of their scholarly work, a detailed description of their research project, and three letters of recommendation.

The Committee also requires a letter from the candidate's departmental chair confirming the date of completion of all the requirements for the doctoral degree. This letter should be received by June 1, 1998. The Committee will announce its decision by early June, 1998. The deadline for application materials is January 1, 1998. Applications and inquiries should be addressed to:
