American School of Classical Studies at Athens


Deadline: February 15, 2027

Website: https://www.ascsa.edu.gr/fellowships-and-grants

Field of Study: Archaeology

Eligibility: U.S. or Israeli citizens. Applicants must be either Ph.D. candidates writing their dissertations in archaeology or early-career scholars (Ph.D. earned within the last five years) completing a project that requires a lengthy residence in Greece. Applicants can propose to use any of the School’s research facilities, as long as their research topic has an archaeological component.

Terms and Duration: Stipend of $11,500 plus room and board in Loring Hall, and waiver of School fees. Meals, Monday through Friday, are provided at Loring Hall. The fellow is expected to be engaged full-time in the supported research from early September 2027 to late May 2028. Any concurrent employment requires the permission of the Director of the School. A final report is due at the end of the award period, and 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 will be contributed to the relevant library of the School.
