The American Academy in Rome invites predoctoral 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 Renaissance and Early Modern Studies, from the fourteenth through eighteenth centuries. The American Academy in Rome offers full-term predoctoral Rome Prize fellowships (of approximately ten months) in Ancient Studies, through the sixth century. These fellowships are meant to provide scholars with the necessary time to research and write their doctoral dissertations. Applicants for predoctoral fellowships must have fulfilled all predissertation requirements; they should also have preferably completed a draft of the first chapter of their dissertation, by the application deadline. 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.
