Early Career Postdoctoral Fellowships in East European Studies

The American Council of Learned Societies will offer support for postdoctoral research and writing in East European studies in all disciplines of the humanities and social sciences.

In awarding these grants, primary considerations are the scholarly merit of the proposal, its importance to the development of the field, and the scholarly potential and accomplishments of the applicant. Priority will be given to applicants in the early part of their careers, that is, before tenure. All proposals should be for scholarly work, the product of which is to be disseminated in English.

Scholars may apply for fellowships of up to $25,000 for six to twelve consecutive months of full-time research and writing. These fellowships are intended primarily as salary replacement to provide time free for research; the funds may be used to supplement sabbatical salaries, up to but not exceeding the Fellow’s normal academic year salary.
