The ANU (Canberra) and Friends of the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens are offering a scholarship for a student or other scholar from the ACT to spend between two and 12 months working on a research project in Greece.
The purpose of the scholarship is to assist a local scholar whose research requires a period in Greece. The successful applicant can 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; areas of research providing assistance to the AIAA’s archaeological expedition to Greece. While the main purpose of the scholarship is to assist the recipient in conducting research in Greece, the Institute expects that the successful candidate will in turn assist the Institute by joining in activities in Greece.
The basic grant shall 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 apply, contact AAIA on (02) 9351 4759 or visit aaia.chass.usyd.edu.au. The deadline for applications is 15 October.
