ARCS Pre-doctoral Fellowship

The American Research Center in Sofia Foundation invites applications for its Pre-Doctoral Fellowship for U.S.-based Students. The fellowship supports graduate students engaged in research in the humanities and/or social sciences with a focus on Bulgaria or the Balkan Peninsula from antiquity through modern day. The duration of the fellowships is either 9 months (September–May) or 3 months (September–November or February–April). Fellows participate in the academic program of ARCS, which may include a Lecture Series providing a broad thematic vision of Bulgarian and Balkan history and culture from prehistory to the present day. Fellows receive free housing in shared rooms in the ARCS hostel. This fellowship can be combined with another fellowship with negotiated terms. Fellows should secure funding to cover their travel expenses between North America and Bulgaria.
