Unfortunately only for citizens or permanent residents of the USA... Geoffrey Chew Music Department, Royal Holloway, University of London Internet: [log in to unmask] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Serguei Alex. Oushakine <[log in to unmask]> see www.acls.org Postdoctoral Fellowships in East European Studies Amount: up to $25,000 Tenure: 6 to 12 consecutive months between July 1, 2002 and September 1, 2003. Deadline: November 1, 2001 for submitting completed application. Decisions will be announced in late April 2002. The American Council of Learned Societies will offer support for postdoctoral research and write-up 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 East Europe or relating East European societies to those of other parts of the world. These fellowships are made possible with funding from 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), and other sources. 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. These fellowships are to be used for work outside East Europe, although short visits to the area may be proposed as part of a coherent program primarily based elsewhere. Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States, and hold a Ph.D. degree conferred prior to November 1, 2001, or its equivalent as demonstrated by professional experience and publications. Approximately 5-7 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 or awards from other sources, provided they would intensify or extend the contemplated research. Scholars may apply, therefore, for fellowships of up to $25,000 for six to twelve consecutive months of full-time research between July 1, 2002 and September 1, 2003. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dissertation Fellowships in East European Studies Amount: up to $15,000 Tenure: One year beginning June 2002. Deadline: November 1, 2001 for submitting completed applications. Decisions will be announced in late April 2002. The American Council of Learned Societies will offer support for dissertation research and write-up in East European studies. Applications, therefore, should be for doctoral dissertations 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 or disciplines of the humanities and the social sciences. Comparative projects are also welcomed. These fellowships are made possible with funding from 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) and other sources. Fellowships will be granted on the basis of the scholarly potential of the applicant, the quality and scholarly importance of the proposed work, and its importance to the development of scholarship on East Europe. These fellowships, however, are to be used for work outside East Europe, although short visits to the area may be proposed as part of a coherent program primarily based elsewhere. Currently enrolled graduate students who will have completed all requirements for the doctorate except the dissertation by June 2002 may apply for one year, non-renewable support for work on the dissertation. The stipend will be up to $15,000, and approximately 10-12 fellowships will be available. Applicants must be citizens or permanent legal residents of the United States. As a condition of the award, the applicant's home university will be required (consistent with its policies and regulations) to provide or to waive normal academic year tuition payments or to provide alternative cost-sharing support.
