American Research Institute in Turkey: Fellowships in the Humanities and Social Sciences in Turkey
Deadline: November 1
The Fellowships: The American Research Institute in Turkey will offer ARIT fellowships for research in Turkey for the academic year 2009-2010. Grants for tenures up to one year will be considered, however, some preference is given to projects of shorter duration. ARIT operates hostel, research, and study facilities for researchers in Turkey at its branch centers in Istanbul and Ankara.
Eligibility and Requirements: Scholars and advanced graduate students engaged in research on ancient, medieval, or modern times in Turkey, in any field of the humanities and social sciences, are eligible. Student applicants must have fulfilled all requirements for the doctorate except the dissertation by June 2009, and before beginning any ARIT-sponsored research. Non-U.S. applicants are expected to maintain an affiliation with an educational institution in the United States or Canada. Scholars who have completed their formal training may also apply for ARIT fellowships sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities. For questions of eligibility, please check with the ARIT office in Philadelphia.
