The Petro Jacyk Distinguished Fellowship in Ukrainian Studies 2006-2007 Competition

The Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University is inviting applications for the Petro Jacyk Distinguished Fellowship in Ukrainian Studies for the academic year 2008-2009. The fellowship is designed to bring exceptionally accomplished scholars to Harvard University for a period of five months. While in residence, the Jacyk Distinguished Fellow will use the University's unique resources to work on significant and innovative projects in Ukrainian studies, and in general to further his or her professional development. The Jacyk Distinguished Fellow will interact with the Harvard academic community through such activities as giving lectures, readings, or performances, or writing articles. In addition, the Jacyk Distinguished Fellow will preside over the Petro Jacyk Symposium in Ukrainian Studies: a forum presented as part of the HURI Seminar Series in Ukrainian Studies. The forum shall consist of a formal presentation followed by a round-table discussion on a Ukrainian theme of the fellow's choosing. The 2008-2009 Jacyk Distinguished Fellow will be selected through an international competition, open (but not limited) to scholars, policy-makers, artists, writers, and journalists.

The Jacyk fellowship is funded through a gift to the Institute by the Petro Jacyk Educational Foundation in Ontario, Canada. Mr. Petro Jacyk, a prominent Canadian businessman who passed away in November 2001, was one of the Institute's most generous benefactors. In addition to his gift to establish the fellowship program, he endowed the position of the Petro Jacyk Bibliographer in Ukrainian Studies at the library of the Ukrainian Research Institute.
