Harriman Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship for Research Project on
Russia and Islam

The Harriman Institute proposes to award two postdoctoral fellowships
for a new research project on the Russian lands and Islam. This project
seeks to reconsider the relationship between religion and modernity in
Russian history, by highlighting the role played by religious
institutions, policies and ideas in the transformation and modernization
of the imperial and post-imperial state from 1750 to the present.
Focusing, in particular, on the Russian relationship with Islam it seeks
to foster a reappraisal of the geopolitical significance of the
long-term Russian interaction – through the Tsarist and Soviet eras –
with its southern neighbors, in particular, the Ottoman empire and its
successor states, the Caucasus and Central Asia. Candidates with a
background in Russian or Ottoman studies, or with other relevant
research interests, are invited to apply. The fellowships are for
academic year 2007-2008 and will involve, in addition to research,
helping to run a workshop and conferences associated with the project.
For more information on the project, please contact Project Director,
Professor Mark Mazower: mm2669 at columbia.edu.

Postdoctoral awards are normally for one academic year, although in some
cases the support can be for one semester. They require that the
recipient be in residence at Columbia. All fellows have access to the
Institute's reading room, archives, lectures, and discussions as well as
the resources within the Columbia library system. Although the
Institute's space is limited, it does accommodate postdoctoral fellows
with desk areas.

Eligibility is restricted to those applicants who have received the
Ph.D. within the five years prior to the fellowship period for which
they are applying. Candidates must have successfully defended and
deposited their dissertations prior to the commencement of the fellowship.

HOW TO APPLY

Candidates should send the following materials to the Fellowship
Committee, Russia and Islam Research Project, c/o Barbara Singleton, at
the address below, by March 15th (fellowships begin the following
