The American Academy in Rome invites postdoctoral applicants to submit proposals in archaeology, classics, history, the history of art and architecture, economic and political policy, literature, musicology, theory, and other relevant fields. These categories are not intended to be exclusive. Any approach or combination of approaches to these disciplines will be considered. Cross-cultural projects that share Rome and its influences are also welcome. We welcome interdisciplinary work on historic and contemporary issues across the humanities that include the Ancient Studies, through the sixth century. The American Academy in Rome offers full-term (approximately ten months) and half-term (approximately five months) postdoctoral fellowships in Ancient Studies, through the sixth century. All applicants for postdoctoral fellowships must hold a PhD at the time of application. Two types of postdoctoral Rome Prize fellowships are available: Academy postdoctoral fellowships and National Endowment for the Humanities postdoctoral fellowships. Applicants for the Academy postdoctoral fellowships must be US citizens, are often scholars at an early stage in their academic careers, and may be assistant professors, associate professors, or independent scholars. Applicants for NEH postdoctoral fellowships must be US citizens or foreign nationals who have lived in the US for the three years immediately preceding the application deadline; they may hold any academic rank or be independent scholars. Applicants must submit a proposal describing the project to be undertaken. Applicants must also submit a writing sample, which should be in the proposed field of study. Applicants are also required to submit three reference letters from professionals acquainted with them and their work. The deadline for applications is November 1. Applications will also be accepted between November 2 and 15 for an additional fee. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
