Description
The Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) at Harvard University offers a limited number of residential postdoctoral fellowships supporting high-quality scholarship on ancient Greek civilization. Supported fields include archaeology, art history, epigraphy, history, literary criticism, philology, philosophy, pedagogical applications, reception, and interdisciplinary studies. Projects must contribute to classical studies or the humanities more broadly and demonstrate why residency at CHS is important to their progress.
The summer program is intended for scholars for whom an academic-year fellowship is unfeasible. CHS especially welcomes non-tenure-track faculty, independent scholars, and faculty from small departments where academic-year leave would jeopardize the program. Fellows spend four weeks at CHS in Washington, DC, devoting full time to their research, and receive a one-year appointment with access to Harvard library resources.
