2016 LIBRARIAN FELLOWSHIP
at the INSTAP STUDY CENTER FOR EAST CRETE
The Institute for Aegean Prehistory (INSTAP) is pleased to announce the availability of a
Librarian Fellowship of $28,000 plus reasonable travel expenses to be awarded on a competitive
basis to an eligible candidate for the period June 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017 at the INSTAP
Study Center for East Crete (SCEC) in Pacheia Ammos, Greece. This fellowship is intended for
librarians or library students, or for scholars in the field of the Aegean Bronze Age/Early Iron
Age. Candidates with course work in Library Science or library work experience are preferred. It
is not necessary to have completed an advanced graduate degree to be eligible.
The fellowship entails overseeing the more than 5,000 volume archaeological library at the
SCEC. Duties will include acquisition of appropriate additions to the collection, implementation
of a web-accessible database catalog, and maintenance of the collection. Applications must be
received no later than November 1, 2015, and awards will be announced by February 1, 2016.
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.
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:
instapapplications@gmail.com
If you are not able to send your application electronically via e-mail, please send 3 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).
