2011-2012 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS FOR RESEARCH IN ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE

The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at MIT (AKPIA at MIT) is
pleased to announce its postdoctoral fellowship program for the
academic year 2011-2012. The fellowship program is intended for
scholars with Ph.D. in any field related to architecture < including
architectural, art, landscape, and urban history, design, technology,
computation, urban planning, anthropology, and archeology < who are
engaged in research on an Islamic topic. One to three fellowships will
be granted. The fellowship duration can range from two months to a
maximum of two semesters, or nine months, of residency, that will have
to fall within the academic year. Fellows are expected to pursue their
own research, give at least one public lecture, submit a substantial
report on their research at the end of their fellowship to be
electronically published by AKPIA at MIT, and participate in the
program's scholarly and academic activities during their stay at MIT.
The fellowship award consists of monthly stipend not to exceed the
amount of $3,100 (before taxes) per month and one roundtrip ticket for
the fellow from his/her place of residence. Fellows will be
responsible to find their own housing and health insurance during
their fellowship period. AKPIA will provide library cards, email
accounts at MIT, and a workplace in the AKPIA at MIT office that might
have to be shared with another fellow.

Deadline for application is March 1, 2011. Results will be announced
by April 26, 2011. Applicants should send a C.V., a research proposal
specifying the desired period of stay and other sources of funding if
available, one substantial writing sample or a portfolio, and two
letters of recommendation. It is strongly suggested that applications
are submitted electronically. Applicants are encouraged to seek other
sources of funding to supplement the fellowship award. Scholars with
their own financial resources or who are on sabbatical and wish to
apply to AKPIA fellowships are also welcome. AKPIA reserves the right
to prorate its fellowship when combined with another grant or
fellowship.
