POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP- Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture,
Harvard U.

The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at Harvard University
Fellowship Program 2005-2006 for Advanced Historical Research in Islamic
Art & Architecture

The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture is pleased to invite
applications for fellowships to conduct advanced historical research in
Islamic art and architecture at Harvard University. Grants are intended
principally for overseas scholars (preferably, but not exclusively, from
Muslim countries) to support research in art and architectural history
and archaeology. (These fellowships are not intended to sponsor design,
conservation, or development projects.) We welcome applications both
from established scholars and from recent post-doctoral graduates. All
applicants must have a Ph.D. degree to be eligible.

The duration of the fellowship ranges from a minimum of 3 months to a
maximum of 9 months. Awards consist of a stipend plus travel and
research expenses. The amount awarded is based on need and length of
stay and may not exceed a total of $27,000. Scholars with their own
financial resources or other sources of funding are also encouraged to
apply for fellowships without stipend.

Each Fellow will be responsible for finding his or her own housing for
the term of the fellowship. The program will provide full library access
and an e-mail account. Each Fellow is expected to deliver a public
lecture on his or her project during the term and is encouraged to
publish project findings in Muqarnas, an annual publication of the Aga
Khan Program.

Please send to the address below two copies of each of the following:
curriculum vitae, two-page research proposal, sample of previous
research publication(s), dates of intended stay with proposed budget,
and two letters of recommendation from two sources.

The application submission deadline is March 14, 2005. Application
materials must be submitted in hard copy only. Applications received
incomplete and/or after the deadline will not be considered by the
committee.
