In 2015, the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) will offer two post-doctoral research fellowships to AIA members based in North America who wish to use the library facilities of the DAI in Berlin.
Each fellowship is of a maximum duration of two months (in summer or winter terms of 2015), and includes travel expenses for the Fellow, a daily allowance, and residence in a single or double room at the DAI's guest house. Fellows who wish to bring their families may find themselves alternate housing. In this case the DAI can provide a rental allowance.
Eligibility Criteria
Prerequisites for the fellowship are a Ph.D. degree (or its equivalent) and professional competence in archaeology. Applicants must be members of the Archaeological Institute of America and must be residents of a North American country. The principal requirement is a detailed research proposal of no more than three pages. While in residence, the Fellows will be expected to give a lecture for the DAI.
Offered Benefits
The fellowship includes travel expenses for the Fellow, a stipend of 24 Euros/day plus 4.12 Euros/day for research expenses, and residence in the DAI's guest house. If the Fellow is accompanied by a spouse the stipend will be increased by an additional 5.11 Euros/day but the spouse's travel expenses will not be covered by the Fellowship. Unfortunately, children cannot be accommodated in the DAI's guest house.
