American Research Institute in Turkey - Mellon Research Fellowships

Mellon Research Fellowships For Central and Eastern European Post-Doctoral
Scholars in Turkey: The American Research Institute in Turkey (ARIT) is 
pleased to invite applications for Mellon Research Fellowships in Turkey
for 2001-2002. The purpose of this fellowship is to bring East-Central
European scholars of the humanities into a broader research community.
ARIT is offering fellowships to Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Slovak,
Bulgarian, and Romanian scholars holding the PhD or its equivalent, who 
are engaged in advanced research in any field of the social sciences or 
the humanities involving Turkey. 

ARIT maintains two research institutes in Turkey. ARIT-Istanbul has a
research library focused on Byzantine, Ottoman, and modern studies of
Turkey. Also, ARIT-Ankara focuses on art, archaeology, and ancient history
in its library. Both institutes offer residential facilities (with advance
reservations) and provide general assistance and introduction to
colleagues, institutions, and authorities in Turkey.

Eligibility: Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Slovak, Bulgarian, and Romanian 
    scholars who are permanent residents of one of the four included 
    countries are eligible to apply. Applicants may not have held a prior 
    fellowship under this program.

Research Permission: Turkish law requires all foreign scholars, prior to
    entering the country, to obtain formal permission for any research
    carried out. Contact the Turkish diplomatic office within each country
    for more information.

Period: Two to three months

Amount: A stipend of up to $11,500 to cover the costs of conducting the
    scholar's research project, including travel, living expenses and
    work-related costs.
