BURSARY AWARDS
2012-2013
Applications are invited from graduate students or young scholars for an award to support research at the Fitch Laboratory, British School at Athens (BSA) for up to 3 months in the academic year 2012-13 in any of the fields in which the Laboratory is active (e.g. ceramic petrology, archaeometallurgy, geophysical prospection, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, soil micromorphology, ethnoarchaeology, landscape archaeology, archaeology of technology; normally in the context of Aegean/Mediterranean archaeology). Preference may be given to research on bioarchaeology and soil micromorphology. The Bursary includes a monthly stipend (400€), BSA membership and accommodation at the BSA Hostel in Athens and, if required for research purposes, also in Knossos. The award holder will be required to submit a report on her/his research at the Laboratory to the Laboratory’s Subcommittee and Director.
The successful applicant will be expected to use the facilities of the Fitch Laboratory (including analytical equipment and reference collections) as well as the BSA library to further on-going work, in the context of a postgraduate degree or postdoctoral research. The award carries no other formal obligation, although involvement in the academic life of the BSA (for example in the form of a seminar) is welcome.
Applications should include a covering letter (indicating the preferred length and period of stay), a Curriculum Vitae, a statement of the proposed programme of research and the names and contact details of two referees. Applicants should ask referees to send their recommendations by the deadline. The successful applicant will be responsible for acquiring on time any required permits for study and transfer of archaeological material to the Fitch Laboratory. Applicants are also advised to contact the Laboratory Director if the use of analytical facilities is necessary for the proposed research.
Applications and reference letters should be submitted by Friday 31st August 2012 via e-mail ([log in to unmask] ).
Potential applicants may contact Mrs Tania Gerousi, the BSA administrator ([log in to unmask] ), or Dr Evangelia Kiriatzi, the Laboratory Director ([log in to unmask] ), for further information. Additional details about the School and the Laboratory can be also found at http://www.bsa.ac.uk/ .
