Overview
This program aims to support researchers whose work requires continued access to material on site (e.g. archives, libraries, artifacts, archaeological sites), and to encourage research of the highest quality on topics broadly related to the ancient Greek world. The fellowships are offered by the CHS in Washington, DC, and supported administratively and logistically by the CHS in Greece.
Provisions for the fellows
- All fellows receive appointments for one year, beginning on July 1, 2027, and receive access to the electronic resources of the Harvard library system for the duration of their fellowship.
- Successful candidates have the opportunity to visit the CHS offices in Nafplio, for up to 5 days, and in Washington, DC, for up to 15 days.
- The fellowship award includes a stipend of $12,000 (USD), which may be used at the discretion of the fellow to support their research and the execution of the project. Additionally, the CHS will cover limited travel expenses (airfare and accommodations) for each fellow's visit to Nafplio and to Washington, DC.
Eligibility
Prerequisites for fellowships are:
- A PhD degree (or its equivalent). Applicants must have defended their degree before July 1, 2026.
- Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of Greece or Cyprus, and will reside there during the fellowship in order to conduct the research outlined in their application.
Applicants may not apply to other CHS related fellowship programs, such as the Fellowships in Hellenic Studies Program in Washington, DC, during the same application cycle.
