Notes:
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens, one of America’s most distinguished centers devoted to advanced teaching and research in the humanities, was founded in 1881 to provide American graduate students and scholars a base for their studies in the history and civilization of the Greek world. Today, 126 years later, it is still a teaching institution, providing graduate students a unique opportunity to study firsthand the sites and monuments of Greece. The School is also a superb resource for senior scholars pursuing research in fields ranging from antiquity to modern Greece, thanks to its internationally renowned libraries, the Blegen, dedicated to classical antiquity, and the Gennadius, which concentrates on the Greek world after the end of antiquity.

The School is open to qualified students and scholars at colleges or universities in the U.S. or Canada unless otherwise noted. The American School of Classical Studies at Athens does not discriminate on the basis of race, age, sex, sexual orientation, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, or disability when considering admission to any form of membership. A number of grants and fellowships are available.

Notes:
Study grants are intended to support doctoral or post-doctoral research in the fields of the arts, humanities and the social sciences related to Turkey and the Black Sea littoral. Specifically, the grants are intended to support scholars in defined aspects of doctoral research which will significantly progress the research, in the completion of PhDs, or in discrete pieces of post-doctoral research. These grants are not intended to support fieldwork. They can be used to provide access to the particularly good Institute library, to support use of the Institute archive resources, and to study in the wider academic context within Turkey.

Periods of study from one to three months will be supported. An airfare (Ł300) and funding for basic subsistence and accommodation (Ł500 per month) is the expected level of funding. Use of the Institute hostel is encouraged and full access to the Institute facilities will be provided. It is expected that normally the study will be based in Ankara but specific applications based elsewhere in Turkey are not excluded.

Applicants must be based in a British University. Applications should be made on the appropriate form which may be obtained from either the Ankara or London office. Applications must be supported by a reference from the supervisor of the PhD or, for post-doctoral applicants, another suitable academic. Applications will be considered by the BIAA Research Committee at half-yearly intervals, and the next deadline for submissions will be 15 November 2006. The period of study must take place between April 2007 and March 2008.

Notes:
Grants are offered to enable individuals engaged in study or research at undergraduate, postgraduate, or post-doctoral levels, to travel to Iran and the greater Iranian cultural region in connection with their work. The aims of the travel grant are to give students an opportunity to visit the region, support minor research projects and lay the foundation for future work.

There is no application form. Applicants should submit a brief one-page proposal outlining the project they have in mind, including the time-scale, itinerary and breakdown of expenses. Any topic that is relevant to an academic study bearing on Iran will be considered eligible. Proposals that are not properly costed will be returned for clarification.

The application should be accompanied by a reference from an academic familiar with the student’s work, or research project in the case of postgraduate applicants. This should be in a sealed envelope. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure the reference arrives in time; without it, the application will not be considered. It is also a condition of an award to submit a report on completion of the project.

Grants are normally up to a maximum of Ł 500 or exceptionally Ł 1,000; applicants should expect to supplement their costs from other sources. Grants will be available from July 2005, and will be paid after a visa has been obtained.

Applications should be sent to the Secretary, The British Academy, 10 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AH, no later than 15th May

Notes:
Visiting Fellowships are offered for postdoctoral research in the humanities and social sciences to be undertaken in the Levant (Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria).

The period of research must take place between 1 April 2006 and 30 June 2007, and commence before 31 March 2007. Established scholars can spend between 3 and 9 months attached to the British Institute in Amman or the Kenyon Institute in Jerusalem in order to undertake research.

Fellows may use the time to conduct primary research, develop important contacts in the region, give lectures, and write up results. Under the terms of the fellowship, CBRL will provide a return air fare from the UK, free accommodation and an allowance of Ł10 per day for food.

Salaries, research expenses, and teaching-replacement costs will not be covered by the award, but a fellowship may be held in conjunction with a BA or Research Council award that does cover such costs (such as a research fellowship or readership), so long as it does not also cover travel, food or accommodation.

CBRL Fellows will be entitled to make use of the research facilities available at the CBRL Institutes, including the library and (at normal CBRL rates) the office, IT, field equipment and lab facilities. At the discretion of the Director, for the duration of the fellowship, fellows will also be allocated such workspace as they may require to store the materials related to affiliated projects and to pursue their research.

Application: Please send a curriculum vitae, two letters of recommendation, and a description of the planned research, including dates proposed. Please enclose a covering letter clearly stating contact details, including an e-mail address, and the title and dates of your proposed research.

Applicants must be British or normally resident in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.

Deadline: Completed applications and references must be received by the London Office by 1 December 2005.
