ASOR Mesopotamian Fellowship
2014/2015 Application Guidelines
Please note: The deadline for 2014/2015 fellowships will be December 1,
2013.
The Mesopotamian Fellowship provides support in the amount of $9,000
for a period of research lasting three months to a year. $1,000 of
this Fellowship amount will be allocated for registration and travel
support to the 2014 or 2015 ASOR Annual Meeting where the successful
applicant will be expected to present a paper on his or her research.
This Fellowship is primarily intended to support field/research on
ancient Mesopotamian civilization carried out in the Middle East, but
other projects such as travel to work on museum collections or
archives related to ancient Mesopotamia will also be considered. The
Mesopotamian Fellowship is based on a July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015
fiscal year. A recipient who does not use the fellowship for at least
three months must forfeit part of the fellowship and return a prorated
amount of the stipend. Fellowship time should be continuous, without
frequent trips outside the Middle East.
Pre-doctoral students and post-doctoral scholars from any country are
invited to apply. Applicants must be affiliated with an institution
that is a corporate member of ASOR or must obtain individual
membership in ASOR.
The Fellowship Committee prefers to fund applicants who will travel to
the Middle East to perform their research in the field. The committee
may, in rare cases, fund travel overseas to perform research in a
European museum on Mesopotamian materials.
Applications consist of a coversheet and a short proposal. Applicants
should provide three recommendations.
Applicants should submit their proposals as a .doc or .pdf attachment
to [log in to unmask] and ask recommenders to do the same with their letters.
Applicants or recommenders who are unable to submit proposals or
letters by email may send them to the address given below.
The deadline for applications is December 1, 2013. Successful
applicants will be notified by February 15, 2014.
