Description
The Loeb Classical Library Foundation’s Trustees administer three two-year postdoctoral fellowships for research during the 2027–2029 academic years. The program supports specific projects in classical studies, combining a stipend and dedicated research funding with an academic affiliation suited to each fellow’s research. Fellows should aim to establish a visiting scholar relationship with an institution where they can best carry out their project; their home institution may be appropriate.
The fellowships reflect James Loeb’s direction that income beyond the needs of maintaining and enhancing the Loeb Classical Library should encourage research at home and abroad in archaeology and Greek and Latin literature. Eligibility extends to doctoral dissertations in any area of classical studies.
