American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), Dissertation Fellowships in East European Studies
Length: one year
Comments: The American Council of Learned Societies offers support for writing dissertations in East European studies in all disciplines of the humanities and the social sciences.Funding is offered for two types of support:
- Research Fellowships for use in Eastern Europe to conduct fieldwork or archival investigations.
- Writing Fellowships for use outside of Eastern Europe, after all research is complete, to write the dissertation.
Applications should be for work on Eastern Europe: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Kosovo/a, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Applicants may propose comparative work considering more than one country of Eastern Europe or relating East European societies of those of other parts of the world.
Fellowships will be granted on the basis of the scholarly potential of the applicant, the quality and scholarly importance of the proposed work, and its importance to the development of scholarship on Eastern Europe. ACLS selection committees consider language competence essential to research. Therefore, applicants will be asked to describe their command of the language(s) required for their proposed projects.
The stipend will be up to $18,000. As a condition of the award, the
applicant's home university will be required (consistent with its
policies and regulations) to provide or to waive normal academic year
tuition payments or to provide alternative cost-sharing support.
