Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies
Post Doctoral Fellowships

Post Doctoral fellowships are awarded annually by the Havighurst Center.
Fellowships are given in all areas of academic study related to Russia
and other post Soviet countries, including history, politics, music,
culture, art, architecture, religion, literature, and daily life.

This year, the Havighurst Center will be focusing on the Silk Road and
we are seeking Postdoctoral Fellows who concentrate on the art,
architecture, culture, economics, ethnography, history, literature,
music, politics or sociology of the Eurasian (former Soviet) countries
of the historic or modern Silk Road.

The fellowships are designed for junior scholars of exceptional promise.
Successful candidates will have the opportunity to pursue their research
agenda for a calendar year with the support of a competitive salary and
up to $2,000 for research support. Fellowships are for one year, but may
be renewed for a second year. Fellows normally are expected to teach
four 15 week courses in the field of their primary research interest per
year and to assist in developing Havighurst programs in the area of
their interest. Fellows must have their Ph.D.  (or Kandidat nauk) in
hand by the beginning of their fellowship, and those without native
ability in English must have a demonstrated capability to lecture in
English. Fellowships are open to applicants from all countries. The
areas that the Center is interested in will change annually, and
candidates are encouraged to contact the center directly before making
an application.

Candidates should send their curriculum vitae, a one page description of
their research proposal, a description of each of the courses they would
