Early Career Fellowships in Hellenic Studies in Greece and Cyprus

The Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) offers up to five fellowships to postdoctoral researchers based in Greece and Cyprus. The program aims to support researchers whose work requires continued access to material on site (e.g., archives, libraries, artifacts, archaeological sites) and to encourage research of the highest quality on topics related to ancient Greek civilization. The fellowships are offered by the CHS in Washington, DC, and supported administratively and logistically by the CHS in Greece. All fellows receive appointments for one year, beginning on July 1, 2026, and will receive access to the electronic resources of the Harvard library system for the duration of their fellowship. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to visit the CHS offices in Nafplio, for up to 5 days, and in Washington, DC, for up to 10 days. The fellowship award includes a stipend of $12,000 (USD), which may be used at the discretion of the fellow to support their research and the execution of the project. Additionally, the CHS will cover limited travel expenses (airfare and accommodations) for each fellow's visit to Nafplio and to Washington, DC. Fellows are encouraged to document the evolution of their projects and share their work in progress, and are asked to acknowledge CHS support in publications or presentations resulting from their work at the Center.
