Fellowship in Comparative Cultural Studies, Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard University, Greece (2016)

Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) is pleased to offer two fellowships to junior faculty members of Greek Universities to join the Harvard Summer Program in Greece. In the University of Patras, Adjunct Lecturers, Lecturers or Assistant Professors coming from the School of Humanities are eligible to apply.

The Harvard Summer Program in Greece is one of the oldest and most successful Harvard summer study abroad programs. Divided between the seaside town of Nafplion and the city of Thessaloniki, it recently completed its fourteenth year. Founded in 2002 by a team of Harvard-trained scholars in the humanities, and Harvard professor and CHS Director Gregory Nagy as the senior faculty member, the program focuses on the comparative study of cultures, with a particular interest in the legacies of Hellenism and in imperial and post-imperial formations in the eastern Mediterranean.

The fellowships aim to attract applicants with an academic background strongly related to the disciplines of Humanities and/or Social Sciences. CHS gives preference to those whose application and cover letter suggests that they would be comfortable working in an intimate, international, multilingual community of scholars. Former experience in similar academic programs/activities in Greece or abroad will be highly appreciated.

The fellowship includes:
- Year-long appointment as Fellow in Comparative Cultural Studies, Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard University.
- Year-long access to all Harvard electronic resources. The fellow will receive an ID, username and password to have access to all digital libraries, available through the Harvard University library system.
- A week-long stay in Thessaloniki in July 2016 (dates to be determined). The fellow will join the summer program and interact with the students and the faculty. She/he will attend all seminars taught during that week and address a lecture to the students on her/his area of interest. The Center covers accommodation, breakfast and dinner, during the fellow’s stay with the program in summer, and offers a stipend aiming to cover any additional expenses (e.g. transportation, etc.).

For questions, please contact Ms. Marina Cheilitsi, Programs Coordinator, Center for Hellenic Studies (Greece), Harvard University at summergreece@chs.harvard.edu or 27520 47033 and 69345 00937.
