The Eugene and Daymel Shklar Research Fellowships in Ukrainian Studies and the Jaroslaw and Nadia Mihaychuk Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Ukrainian Studies bring scholars from the international academic community to Harvard for focused research on projects in Ukrainian history, literature, philology, culture, and other related areas of study in the humanities and social sciences fields. In addition to carrying out their own research in residence, fellows participate in the scholarly life of the University, and offer a formal presentation based on original research as part of the Institute’s seminars in Ukrainian studies.
Eligibility:
Individuals who hold a doctorate in one of the fields listed above and who have demonstrated a commitment to Ukrainian studies are eligible to apply. Those individuals who have received their Ph.D. or its academic equivalent (e.g., Kandydat nauk) within the past eight to ten years are especially encouraged to apply.
Stipends:
To support their stay at Harvard, both Eugene and Daymel Shklar and Jaroslaw and Nadia Mihaychuk fellows are provided with a stipend of $3,300 per month to cover the cost of housing, health insurance, and other living expenses. In addition to the stipend, the awards provide for the cost of direct roundtrip travel to Harvard University and during the fellow’s stay, supplemental funding to attend one established conference connected with Ukrainian studies.
Fellowship Tenure:
Requests for residence for periods from three to eight months will be considered; adjustments in the requested time-frame may be made at the time of award. The average tenure for a fellow has been four months.
Fellowship Application Instructions:
The completed application consists of three parts:
- The fellowship application cover form attached to these instructions. (typed in English);
- Current curriculum vitae; and
- A six to eight page description (double-spaced, 12 point font, and one inch margins) of your project, including its significance, the expected date of completion, and the reasons why residency at Harvard University is necessary for its successful completion.
As part of the application, the selection committee requests that scholars discuss whether the proposed research project will generate data that could be incorporated into the Institute’s database for a Geographic Information System historical atlas of Ukraine. Note: The stated interest of the selection committee does not in any way preclude application from scholars whose research will not generate such data. All eligible scholars are encouraged to apply, and their applications will receive full consideration. |
Submission:
The original signed application cover form, project description, and CV – clipped together as one set – along with five complete duplicate copies of the set must be sent by March 9, 2012 to the following address:
