American Research Center in Egypt Fellowship

The goal of the Fellowship Program is to promote a fresh and more 
profound knowledge of Egypt and the Near East through scholarly
research and to aid in the training of American specialists in
Middle Eastern studies in academic disciplines that require 
familiarity with Egypt.

Doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships: in archaeology, architecture, 
     art, development, Egyptology, history, humanities, Islamic
     Studies, and social sciences.

Eligibility: Predoctoral candidates must have finished all
     requirements for the doctorate except the dissertation by the 
     time of the anticipated beginning of their fellowship.
     Postdoctoral fellowships are available to U.S. citizens and
     foreign-born citizens who have U.S. residency and have held a 
     a teaching position at an American university for a minimum
     of three years.

Period: The ARCE Fellowships are given for periods of between 3 and
     12 months (depending on the source of funding). Fellowships 
     run from October 1st through September 30th.

Stipends: Fellows receive one round-trip ticket between the U.S.
     and Cairo (dependents are not granted travel). Fellowship 
     stipends are administered on a monthly basis and are payable 
     in a combination of Egyptian pounds and U.S. dollars, as is 
     mutually convenient.

Deadline: applications, transcripts and letters of recommendation must 
     be received by October 1 (annually).
