About the fellowships
Overview
CHS grants up to 3 fellowships per year to Ph.D. candidates from Greek universities, regardless of their faculty of enrollment, who conduct research on topics related to ancient Greek civilization. The duration of each fellowship is 12 months (June–May), during which fellows complete a semester-long (June–November) research project of their own choice. Right after the semester-long research project, the fellows are asked to submit an article to be published at FirstDrafts@Classics@, and before the end of their year-long appointment, they are asked to submit a report to be published at CHS Research Bulletin. Throughout the appointment, and especially during its second half, fellows are invited to participate in various CHS activities to share their findings and collaborate with other fellows and members of the CHS community.
Provisions for the fellow
The fellowship award includes:
- Year-long appointment as CHS Pre-doctoral Fellow in Hellenic Studies, beginning on June 1, 2023.
