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
