The ANU (Canberra) and Friends of the Australian Archaeological Institute in Athens are offering a scholarship for a student or scholar from the ACT to work for 2 to 12 months on a research project in Greece.
Receiver of the scholarship will be able to conduct research in these five areas: the archaeology, history, and literature of Ancient Greece; Byzantine archaeology, history, and literature; post-Byzantine Greece; Modern Greek studies including history, literature, and art.
While the main purpose of the scholarship is to assist the recipient in conducting research in Greece, the institute believes that the successful candidate will in turn assist the institute by joining in activities in Greece.
The basic grant will be the equivalent of a return excursion airfare Canberra-Athens, plus a contribution up to a maximum of $4,000 towards living and research expenses. An applicant should have a university degree at Honours level, or equivalent. More senior scholars are not excluded provided they can show that research time in Greece is essential to their studies.
To submit an application visit aaia.chass.usyd.edu.au. The deadline for applications is the 15th of October.
