MEI will offer one or more Visiting Research Fellowships in 2016‐2017.
This is an appointment for 13 months in the first instance with the possibility of renewal for a second year. It is open to academics in the social sciences and humanities working on the Middle East in possession of the Ph.D. for at least five years, and one published book.
MEI is offering one or two post‐doctoral Fellowships, for two years, ideally from 1 August 2016 to 31 July 2018.
The fellowships are for recent Ph.D. recipients in the social sciences or humanities working on anthropological, cultural, economic, historical, political, religious, or sociological topics in the greater Middle East region. While the topics for research are open‐ended, special attention will be paid to projects germane to MEI’s priorities, especially contemporary studies of the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf, Iran, and Turkey.
