Fellowships Programs
THE CYPRUS AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE (CAARI) in Nicosia, Cyprus, welcomes scholars and students specializing in archaeology, history, and culture of Cyprus and the eastern Mediterranean. CAARI is located in central Nicosia close to the Cyprus Museum and the Archaeological Research Unit of the University of Cyprus (both with major libraries), as well as the main business and commercial district. In addition to hostel accommodation for a total of twelve residents, the institute has excellent research facilities: a 10,000-volume library, comprehensive map and artifact collections, archival material, and facilities for Internet, scanning, and photography.
Recipients of fellowships are required to spend time as residents of CAARI and to submit a written report for the CAARI newsletter.
POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS
The Edgar J. Peltenburg Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Cypriot Prehistory
This annual fellowship is in honour of the late Professor Edgar Peltenburg and provides a stipend to conduct research on Cypriot prehistory (from the first visitors to the transition to the Iron Age). Applicants of all nationalities are encouraged to apply provided they have been awarded a PhD degree by the start of the fellowship. Although the fellowship is open to scholars of all ages, priority will be given to early career candidates who have received their PhDs within five years of the start of the fellowship. The period of the fellowship is nine months, renewable in exceptional cases for an additional nine months; it includes a US $14,000 stipend and up to US $1,500 travel expenses for those traveling to Cyprus from abroad. The fellowship can begin as early as March 1 or as late as June 30. The fellow will normally be expected to reside at CAARI for the duration of the fellowship. In addition, he or she is expected to play an active role in the CAARI community and to contribute to our academic environment with research-related and/or outreach events.
Deadline: January 23, 2020.
CAARI/CAORC Research Fellowships:
Two fellowships provide US $5500 each (up to US $1500 for transportation and up to an additional US $4000 for research expenses on the island) and are designed for scholars who already have their PhDs, whose research engages the archaeology, history, culture, or geography of Cyprus, and who would derive significant benefit from a month’s research time on the island. Particular consideration is given to applicants whose projects enable them to include Cyprus in their teaching. A minimum of 30 days residence at CAARI is required. Applicants must be U.S. citizens.
Deadline: January 23, 2020.
