THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS
NEH FELLOWSHIPS
Deadline: October 31
Founded in 1881, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) is the most significant resource in Greece for American scholars in the fields of Greek language, literature, history, archaeology, philosophy, and art, from pre-Hellenic times to the present. It offers two major research libraries: the Blegen, with over 100,000 volumes dedicated to the ancient Mediterranean world; and the Gennadius, with over 120,000 volumes and archives devoted to post-classical Hellenic civilization and, more broadly, the Balkans and the eastern Mediterranean. The School also sponsors excavations and provides centers for advanced research in archaeological and related topics at its excavations in the Athenian Agora and Corinth, and it houses an archaeological laboratory at the main building complex in Athens. By agreement with the Greek government, the ASCSA is authorized to serve as liaison with the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Tourism on behalf of American students and scholars for the acquisition of permits to conduct archaeological work and to study museum collections.
Since its inception in 1994, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Fellowship program at the ASCSA has demonstrated its effectiveness by supporting projects for 43 scholars with distinguished research and teaching careers in the humanities.
Eligibility: Postdoctoral scholars and professionals in relevant fields including architecture or art who are US citizens or foreign nationals who have lived in the US for the three years immediately preceding the application deadline. Applicants must already hold their Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree at the time of application. The ASCSA encourages younger scholars to apply.
Terms: Two to four fellowships, either five or ten months in duration. Stipend for a five-month project, $21,000; for a ten-month project, $42,000. Term must coincide with American School’s academic year, September to June. School fees are waived, and the award provides lunches at Loring Hall five days per week. The NEH Fellow will pay for travel costs, housing, partial board, residence permit, and other living expenses from the stipend. A final report is due at the end of the award period, and the ASCSA expects that copies of all publications that result from research conducted as a Fellow of the ASCSA be contributed to the relevant library of the School. The NEH Fellow is required to send one copy of all books and electronic copies of articles to the NEH.
NEH Fellows will be expected to reside primarily at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (though research may be carried out elsewhere in Greece), contribute to and enhance the scholarly dialogue, as well as contribute to and expand scholarly horizons at the School.

Operations and Events Coordinator
Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology, Brown University, Providence, RI
This position plays an absolutely essential leadership role in helping to manage and coordinate all the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology’s academic activities, public relations efforts, and events, including assuming primary responsibility for all operations and public events. The Operations and Events Coordinator is also in charge of all space-related needs for Rhode Island Hall, and manages the schedule for all the building’s classrooms and common spaces. In addition, this position will be the first point of contact for all academic, administrative, and facilities needs and for faculty, students, and staff requests, and will manage and/or delegate all requests. Also, this position must be a helpful and outgoing representative of the Institute for visitors, callers, the academic community, and the public. To assist in all these activities, the Operations and Events Coordinator supervises 1-2 part-time student workers.
The Joukowsky Institute is a dynamic and growing center for people, ideas, and resources — which makes this position both exciting and challenging. The range of planned and unplanned activities is broad, the needs of the students are diverse, and the variety of issues ranges from academic planning to last-minute event logistics. Priorities shift quickly, and this person must be able to assess and anticipate needs. This position requires the ability to provide effective support to wide range of individuals: students with questions, faculty with demanding priorities, prospective students and parents seeking information about the program. A sense of humor is helpful, and a kind and considerate personality necessary.
The Joukowsky Institute is dedicated to the academic study and public promotion of the archaeology and art of the ancient Mediterranean, Egypt, and Western Asia; our principal research interests lie in the complex societies of the pre-modern era. Although the core efforts of the Joukowsky Institute are archaeological in nature and are located within this broadly defined zone, close ties with all individuals interested in the ancient world, and with archaeologists of all parts of the globe, are actively encouraged.
Qualifications:
– B.A. strongly preferred; and 2-5 years experience in administrative office procedures, preferably in an academic environment.
– Excellent oral and written interpersonal skills to deal effectively with a diverse population of students, parents, staff, faculty, and administrators.
– Event planning experience strongly preferred, ideally including both management of logistics and some familiarity with financial and/or budgetary management.
– Ability to prepare and edit correspondence and other documents.
– Experience and proficiency working with Microsoft Word and Excel, and ability to maintain and update FileMaker Pro databases required.
– Familiarity with Dreamweaver and HTML editing tools; with design and layout tools, such as Photoshop, Acrobat, and PowerPoint; and with professional social media management, strongly preferred.
– Flexibility and a willingness to work cooperatively to provide coverage of events and Institute needs — including those occurring on evenings and weekends
– Some interest in archaeology, art, history, or education could be helpful, but is certainly not required.
To Apply:
Please submit application materials online at https://brown.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/job/Rhode-Island-Hall/Operations-and-Events-Coordinator_REQ114908-1.
