Fellowships at the British School at Athens

Visiting Fellowships at the British School at Athens

Visiting Fellowships at the British School at Athens are offered for 2-3 months for research in any branch of the arts or social sciences related to Greece. The Fellowship is non-stipendiary, but accommodation and airfare are provided. The Fellow is required to submit a report covering their research and their time at the School to the School’s Council. The Visiting Fellow should be an established scholar who is expected to conduct a programme of his/her own research, give one public lecture at the School and an open seminar as part of the established programme. He/she should also be willing to concern himself/herself with the current students and their work and may wish to contribute additional lectures or seminars as appropriate in discussion with the Director. The most effective time to take the Fellowship is between January and March when the maximum number of long-term students is in Athens and a large number of external events take place. Accommodation is also offered to an accompanying spouse/partner, at a nominal daily rate. Regrettably, children cannot be accommodated.

Early Career Fellowships

Early Career Fellowships at the British School at Athens are offered for up to 3 months for research in any branch of the arts or social sciences related to Greece. The Fellowship is non-stipendiary, but accommodation and airfare are provided, either to Athens or Knossos. Early Career Fellowships are intended to enable scholars in their first post to spend a period of research leave in Greece. They may, for example, be used to enhance a period of sabbatical or Research Council funded leave. They are not intended to support doctoral research. Fellows will be expected to conduct a programme of original research: the appointment carries no further formal obligations, although involvement in the academic life of the School (for example, in the form of a lecture or seminar) is welcomed. The Early Career Fellow is required to submit a report covering their research and their time at the School to the School’s Council. The Fellowship may be taken in either the autumn or the spring term in Athens or Knossos. Accommodation is also offered to an accompanying spouse/partner, at a nominal daily rate. Regrettably, children cannot be accommodated.
