Description
This fellowship offers a one-year, Cairo-based opportunity for U.S. citizen pre-doctoral candidates (ABD) with at least an MA or MSc in the humanities, social sciences, or data science. Fellows will divide their time between leading content development for the Theban Mapping Project website (40%) and conducting their own dissertation research (60%), which may address any period of Egyptian heritage. The program emphasizes the application of digital technologies—such as mapping, data visualization, programming, and digital collections management—to further research and professional advancement in digital humanities.
