BSA Studentships open for application
The British School at Athens offers three fellowships (for up to 10 months) for postdoctoral or advanced doctoral (normally 4th year) research in any area covered by the BSA’s research foci. By historical convention these awards are referred to as ‘Studentships’. Applications are open to researchers engaged in advanced postgraduate or postdoctoral research at UK universities.
During their tenure of an award, students are expected to be resident at the BSA in Athens and undertake their fieldwork and will be expected to contribute to its scholarly life and administrative operation. The holders of awards may re-apply for a second tenure, subject to academic performance. The award will be £1,334 per month plus one return airfare up to £300 (UK to Athens).
What we offer:
The BSA is both the primary centre of British research in Greece for resident and visiting scholars and a hub of international research through its programme of seminars and conferences, and it is the co-ordinating body for British archaeological fieldwork.
- Financial support: Studentships provide funding to support accommodation at the BSA and living expenses.
- Research resources: Access to the BSA’s outstanding Library facilities, Archive, the Fitch Laboratory for science-based archaeology, the Knossos Research Centre as well as local networks of scholars and academic institutions.
- Professional development: Beyond research, Studentship holders have opportunities for teaching, they become part of an international scholarly community, presenting at seminars, interacting with visiting fellows, and building a track record of high-quality scholarship.
