2016 PETROGRAPHY INTERNSHIP
at the INSTAP STUDY CENTER FOR EAST CRETE
The Institute for Aegean Prehistory (INSTAP) is pleased to announce the availability of a 2
month Petrography Internship to be awarded on a competitive basis to an eligible candidate
during the period from January 15 through April 30, 2016 or September 1 through December 15,
2016 at the INSTAP Study Center for East Crete (SCEC). This internship is intended for students
of archaeology, pottery, geology, and related fields. It is not necessary to have completed the
Ph.D. to be eligible.
The Petrographer of the SCEC will supervise the intern. The scope of the internship will include
projects involving the use of the petrographic microscope.
The Internship will be awarded in the amount of $3,000 plus reasonable round-trip travel
expenses. Applications must be received by November 1, 2015 and awards will be announced by
December 30, 2015. The internship is not renewable.
In addition to the completed application form, proposals should include a curriculum vitae of the
applicant and two non-confidential letters of support: one from the applicant's sponsor (who
should be a senior scholar) and the second from a scholar in the field. If the proposed work is
intended to coincide with a leave-of-absence from an academic institution, a letter from the Chair
(or comparable official) stating that courses scheduled to be taught by the applicant will be
covered by someone with research interest in the Aegean Bronze Age/Early Iron Age should be
included. If the applicant is employed, the research should be done during a leave of absence.
Consideration for the fellowships is open to all candidates meeting the stated requirements.
Awards are made irrespective of race, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability, marital
status, sexual orientation, and actual or perceived medical conditions. It is possible that in the
absence of qualified candidates, the fellowship will not be awarded.
INSTAP now accepts and prefers applications and final reports submitted via e-mail.
Please send one copy as an attachment, either as an MS WORD document or PDF file.
Please combine the application into a single file where possible, or as few files as can be
managed. Send to:

If you are not able to send your application electronically via e-mail, please send 10
copies of your application to the Institute for Aegean Prehistory (INSTAP). Applications
for 2016 funding must be received no later than November 1, 2015 in the INSTAP
office in Philadelphia. It is strongly suggested that foreign applicants use an express
courier service (i.e., DHL, UPS, FEDEX).
