Just a reminder that the proposals for the Gloria S. King Research
Fellowship in Archaeology are due January 15, 2017. We have recently
received word that additional funding will allow us to offer $700 a week
stipend, rather than the $500 it had been previously.
The MAC Lab is an archaeological research, conservation, and curation
facility located at Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum, the State Museum of
Archaeology, in southern Maryland. The MAC Lab serves as a clearinghouse
for archaeological collections recovered from land-based and underwater
projects conducted by State and Federal agencies and other researchers
throughout Maryland and is currently home to 8 million artifacts
representing over 12,000 years of human occupation in Maryland. All of
these collections are available for research, education, and exhibit
purposes to students, scholars, museum curators, and educators and the
purpose of the fellowship is to encourage research in the collections.
Eligibility: Students, academics, or professionals (employees of the
Maryland Historical Trust and St. Mary’s College of Maryland are not
eligible); any subject in Maryland archaeology; must use collections at the
MAC Lab.
Application process: A 1000 word proposal outlining the problem and the
collections in the MAC Lab to be used, plus a CV plus a letter of
recommendation. Applicants are encouraged to contact the lab during
proposal preparation to ensure that the lab has collections appropriate for
contributing to the proposed research.
Stipend: Stipend to be $700 a week, with a minimum two week stay and
maximum 5 week stay. Applications must be received by January 15th, 2017.
