The William and Suzanne Murray Research Fellowship provides graduate students access to the unique resources of the American School and the opportunity to pursue research in the rich archaeological, historical, and cultural landscape of Greece.
Eligibility: Graduate students working on a research project that requires residency in Greece. Open to students of any nationality enrolled in North American universities. Priority is given to applicants whose home institutions do not offer sufficient funding for the proposed project. The project may relate to dissertation research or an independent project (e.g., research on an article or research as a member of an excavation team).
Terms: The fellowship includes a stipend of $4000 for one fellowship or $2000 if two smaller projects are funded in the year, and a waiver of up to two months of membership fees for the duration of residency in Greece while working on the proposed project. The stipend may be used for travel, lodging, equipment, summer expenses, or other project-related needs. The award is to be used between July 1, 2027 and June 30, 2028. (Summer projects may begin in June, but funds will not be disbursed until July 1.)
A final report is due at the end of the award period. The ASCSA expects that all publications that result from research conducted as a Fellow of the ASCSA acknowledge the support of the ASCSA and that copies be contributed to the appropriate library of the School.
Online Application: The application consists of a curriculum vitae, description of the proposed project (up to 750 words), a short description of financial support already received or committed for research travel during the proposed research term, a timeline and budget of the proposed project, and two letters of reference to be submitted online. If the proposal involves work on excavation material, please include a letter from the director giving permission
The award will be announced by 31 March.
