Applications are invited for Early Career Fellowships at the British School at Athens for up to 3 months in the academic years 2009-10 & 2010-11, for research in any branch of the arts or sciences related to Greece. One Fellow will be appointed in each year. The Fellowship is non-stipendiary, but accommodation and airfare are provided. The Fellow will be required to submit a report on his/her research and a short general report on their time at the School to the School’s Council and Director.

Early Career Fellowships are intended to enable scholars in post to spend a period of research leave in Greece. They may, for example, be used to enhance a period of sabbatical or research council funded leave. Fellows will be expected to conduct a programme of original research: the appointment carries no further formal obligations, although involvement in the academic life of the School (for example, in the form of a lecture or seminar) is welcomed. The Fellowship may be taken in either the autumn or the spring term.

The Fellow is offered free accommodation in the Hostel and/or at Knossos, and accommodation is also offered to an accompanying spouse/partner, who is most welcome, at a nominal daily rate. Regrettably, children cannot be accommodated. The School will pay one return airfare between London and Athens or Herakleion.

Applicants should submit a covering letter, a Curriculum Vitae and a statement of their proposed programme of research in Greece.

Applications should be sent by five hard copies to:
The Secretary, British School at Athens, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU (bsa@sas.ac.uk) by 30th November 2008. Further information about the School can be found at www.bsa.ac.uk or from the above office. (Quote source of this advertisement)
