ACOR is now accepting applications for over 20 awards for undergraduate, and pre- and post-doctoral students.  Deadlines for these awards are in February 2019.  Please find the details on eligibility, requirements, and how to apply to each award from our website http://www.acorjordan.org/2019-20-acor-fellowships.
ACOR offers federally funded prestigious fellowships including a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) post-doctoral award and pre- and post-doctoral CAORC awards. We encourage applications from researchers with appropriate degrees of all stages of their careers who work on topics related to Jordan and/or surrounding countries in the humanities and social sciences.

The fellowship programs at Bard Graduate Center are designed to further the institution’s goal of promoting research in the areas of decorative arts, design history, and material culture—what we call the “cultural history of the material world.” We offer a number of fellowship opportunities for researchers working in these and allied areas. We are currently accepting applications for two types of fellowships, see below for details. For questions, please contact fellowships@bgc.bard.edu.

Bard Graduate Center invites scholars from university, museum, and independent backgrounds with a PhD or equivalent professional experience to apply for funded research fellowships, to be held during the 2019–20 academic year. The theme for this period is “Whose story?” Applicants are asked to address in a cover letter how their projected work will bear on this question. The fellowships are intended to fund collections-based research at Bard Graduate Center or elsewhere in New York, as well as writing or reading projects in which being part of our dynamic research environment is intellectually valuable. Eligible disciplines and fields of study include—but are not limited to—art history, architecture and design history, economic and cultural history, history of technology, philosophy, anthropology, and archaeology. Applications due November 1, 2018.
