PURPOSE

This program of research fellowships and seminars will serve to build cooperative networks among scholars from Afghanistan, Algeria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia, Turkey, and Yemen whose research and professional interests focus on art history. The program will draw on the resources, facilities, and contacts of American overseas research centers located in Algeria and Turkey to enable the recipients to further their research and to build professional networks in and among the host countries.

ELIGIBILITY

Post-doctoral Egyptian scholars or professionals.

AWARD

Getty Research Exchange Fellows will receive a travel and living expense stipend of $7,500. The fellowship tenure will be June 9 to July 16, 2012, including an opening and closing seminar. A final report in English is due no later than September 17, 2012. Notification of fellowship status will be made available to each applicant via email by April 16, 2012.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND FORMS FOR EGYPTIAN APPLICANTS

The selection of Getty Fellowship applicants will follow the same procedures as all other ARCE Fellowship applicants. The same guidelines, processes and deadlines will be respected.

If you are a non-Egyptian selected by CAORC for a Fellowship with ARCE in Egypt, you will be required to submit additional paperwork to the relevant Egyptian authorities via ARCE. Final acceptance as a research exchange fellow will be dependent on receiving clearances and permissions from the Egyptian government, as is the case with all Fellows.
