Fellowships for Postdoctoral Research in East European Studies Amount: up to $25,000
Tenure: 6 to 12 consecutive months between
July 1, 2004 and September 1, 2005.
Completed applications must be submitted through the ACLS Online Fellowship
Application system (http://ofa.acls.org) no
later than 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, November 3, 2003.
Decisions will be announced in mid-April 2004.
The American Council of Learned Societies will offer support for postdoctoral
research and writing in East European studies. Applications should be for
research in East European studies, that is, for work related to Albania,
Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland,
Romania, Slovakia, or the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, in any
discipline(s) of the humanities and the social sciences. Proposals dealing with
Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, and the successor states of the former Yugoslavia
are particularly encouraged. The Program supports comparative work considering
more than one country of Eastern Europe or relating East European societies to
those of other parts of the world.
These fellowships are funded by the Department of State under the Research and
Training for Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet
Union Act of 1983 (Title VIII), whose purpose is the development of expertise in
the United States needed for broad knowledge and analysis of ongoing
developments in this critical world area. Every application for this fellowship
should, therefore, state clearly how the proposed research will contribute to a
better and more comprehensive understanding of Eastern Europe.
In awarding these grants, primary considerations are the scholarly merit of the
proposal, its importance to the development of East European Studies, and the
scholarly potential, accomplishments, and financial need of the applicant. All
proposals should be for scholarly work, the product of which is to be
disseminated in English. The fellowships are primarily intended to support
research and writing in the United States and Eastern Europe. Fellowship funds
may not be used in Western Europe. Eligibility Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States, and
hold a Ph.D. degree received prior to the application deadline, or its
equivalent as demonstrated by professional experience and publications.
Approximately four or five fellowships will be available. They are intended
primarily as salary replacement to provide time free for research; the funds may
be used to supplement sabbatical salaries, up to but not exceeding the Fellow's
normal academic year salary. Scholars may apply, therefore, for fellowships of
up to $25,000 for six to twelve consecutive months of full-time research and
writing between July 1, 2004 and September 1, 2005.
