TWO NEW CAARI RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS IN CYPRUS
The Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute (CAARI) in 
Nicosia, Cyprus, invites applications for two CAARI RESEARCH 
FELLOWSHIPS funded by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of 
Educational and Cultural Affairs through a grant from the Council of 
American Overseas Research Centers. The fellowships provide $5750 
each and are designed for scholars in the humanities, social 
sciences, and related natural sciences who already have their PhDs, 
whose research engages the culture, history, archaeology, or 
geography of Cyprus, and who would derive significant benefit from a 
month's research time on the island.  Particular consideration will 
be given to applicants whose projects will enable them to include 
Cyprus in their teaching. Applicants must be U.S. citizens.
Recipients will receive $5500 to be used for transport, living 
expenses, and a month's lodging at CAARI (required), and an 
additional $250 for research expenses on the island. They will 
present a public lecture or workshop on their research at CAARI 
during their residency, file a report on their project at its 
conclusion, and acknowledge CAARI in publications resulting from 
research done there. The fellowship could be held concurrently by the 
annual Senior Scholar in Residence (with separate application for 
each position). Funding for the fellowships is still pending 
confirmation and subject to availability.
CAARI is located in central Nicosia close to the Cyprus Museum, major 
libraries, and the main business and commercial district. The 
institute has hostel accommodations and excellent research 
facilities, in particular its library with extensive holdings 
covering all periods of Cypriot history and prehistory, as well as a 
good basic collection of works on Anatolia, the Aegean and the Near 
East.
Application deadline:  November 1, 2010. For information on CAARI and
