Koç University Short-Term Fellowships in Anatolian Civilization Studies

Applications will not be accepted in 2022.

-----

Short-Term Fellowships are available to post-doc and senior applicants for intensive collaborative research opportunities for durations between 2 weeks and 2 months. These fellowships are open to individuals or groups of 2–4 people and are intended to provide support for ongoing projects, such as finalizing a publication or conducting intensive material analysis or conservation-restoration projects. Collaborative fellowships with Koç University faculty, centers, and facilities are preferred. In such cases, applicants must demonstrate previously established connections in the project description, and collaborating Koç University faculty must supply a reference letter as part of the application. Fellowships provide accommodation at ANAMED, five meals a week, and a modest stipend.

APPLICATIONS

• Before applying please refer to ANAMED’s Frequently Asked Questions concerning the application process.
• Questions concerning the fellowship and application process should be directed to anamedapplication@ku.edu.tr.
• All applicants should complete the application form. (ONLINE FORM)
• Owing to the functionality of the online form, the application must be completed and submitted in one session without closing the browser window. We recommend, therefore, that application information be gathered and prepared in a different document or place first and then entered into the form and submitted in one session.

• Short-Term Fellowships cannot accommodate spouses/partners/companions.
• Short-Term Fellowship terms are configured on a two-week basis and should always begin on the 1st or 15th of a month. They are limited to between one and four two-week periods and thus can run between a term of two weeks to two months.
• Recommendation letters should be submitted directly by email to anamedapplication@ku.edu.tr 
• Recommendation letters should comment directly on the proposed fellowship project and the ability of the applicant to undertake it. For this reason, ANAMED recommends that applicants share project proposals with recommenders in advance.
• Applicants are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of all application information. ANAMED reserves the right to withhold applications from full review owing to incompleteness and/or inaccuracy.
