INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY Princeton, New Jersey

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MEMBERSHIPS IN THE SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL STUDIES for the
academic year 2007-2008

THE INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY was founded in 1930 as a community of
scholars in which intellectual inquiry can be carried out in the most
favorable circumstances.  It provides Members with offices, access to
libraries, subsidized restaurant and housing facilities, and some
secretarial and word-processing services.

THE SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL STUDIES supports scholarship in all fields of
historical research, but is concerned principally with the history of
western, near eastern and far eastern civilizations, with particular
emphasis upon Greek and Roman civilization, the history of Europe
(medieval, early modern, and modern), the Islamic world, East Asian
studies, the history of art, and modern international relations. The
School also offers the Edward T. Cone Membership in Music Studies.
Qualified candidates of any nationality are invited to apply for
memberships.  Residence in Princeton during term time is required. The
only other obligation of Members is to pursue their own research. If
they wish, Members may participate in seminars and meetings within the
Institute. There are also ample opportunities for contacts with scholars
at nearby universities.

Approximately forty Members are appointed for either one or two terms
each year. The Ph.D. (or equivalent) and substantial publications are
required of all candidates at the time of application. Member awards are
funded by the Institute for Advanced Study or by other sources,
including the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Gerda Henkel
Foundation, and the Thyssen Foundation.

APPLICATION may be made for one or two terms (September to December,
January to April). Further information and application materials may be
found on the School's web site, www.hs.ias.edu, or they can be obtained
from the Administrative Officer by electronic mail at mzelazny at ias.edu.
  Inquiries may also be sent by post to: School of Historical Studies,
Institute for Advanced Study, Einstein Drive, Princeton, New Jersey
08540, USA. Completed applications must be returned to the
Administrative Officer by 15 November 2006.


OTHER OPPORTUNITIES

MELLON FELLOWSHIPS FOR ASSISTANT PROFESSORS are also offered each year
to two qualified Assistant Professors. These full-year memberships are
designed specifically for assistant professors at universities and
colleges in the United States and Canada to support promising young
scholars who have embarked on professional careers.  Applicants must
have served at least two, and not more than four years as assistant
professors in institutions of higher learning in the United States or
Canada and must have approval to return to their institution following
the period of membership.  Stipends will match the combined salary and
benefits at the Member's home institution at the time of application,
and all the privileges of membership at the Institute for Advanced Study
will apply.  Application materials are the same as for membership, and
can be obtained from the web at www.hs.ias.edu, or by contacting the
Administrative Officer at the address above.

ACLS/FREDERICK BURKHARDT FELLOWSHIPS FOR RECENTLY TENURED SCHOLARS:
In the academic year 2007-2008 the Institute for Advanced Study
anticipates it will again take part in a program sponsored by the
American Council of Learned Societies, the Frederick Burkhardt
Fellowships. These fellowships support more adventurous, more
wide-ranging, and longer-term patterns of research than are current in
the humanities and related social sciences. Depending on the
availability of funds, ACLS will provide fellowships for up to eleven
recently tenured faculty, most of whom will spend a year at one of
several residential research centers, including the Institute for
Advanced Study. A scholar applying for the academic year 2007-2008 must
normally have begun her/his tenured contract at a U.S. institution no
earlier than the fall 2002 semester or quarter. Applicants must submit a
research plan, typically covering a three to five year period; one of
the first three years of research could be spent as a Member at the
Institute, either in the School of Historical Studies or the School of
Social Science.

Qualified candidates who would like to apply under the auspices of this
program should visit the ACLS website, http://www.acls.org/burkguid.htm,
for a more detailed description of the terms of the fellowship and
information about how to apply. Applications for this program must be
submitted through the ACLS Online Fellowship Application system (OFA) no
later than 9 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, September 28, 2006. OFA is
accessible at http://ofa.acls.org  or through the ACLS website.
Information about this program may also be obtained from the ACLS
Fellowships Office, 633 Third Avenue, 8th floor, New York, NY 10017-6795.
