The America for Bulgaria Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Archaeology
The Department of Anthropology at The Field Museum invites applications for the America for Bulgaria Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship starting in fall 2009. We invite applications from scholars who have completed the Ph.D. recently with a specialization in the archaeology or bioanthropology of the Balkan region. The position is currently funded for one academic year (nine months).
The ABF Postdoctoral Fellow will be expected to carry out independent research resulting in significant publications, as well as to assist with the establishment and implementation of a formal proposal procedure for funding collaborative archaeological and bioarchaeological research, as well as site and museum preservation and improvement in Bulgaria.
Ideally, the Fellow will be a Bulgarian national who intends to pursue a scholarly career in Bulgaria. We seek scholars whose work has broad appeal and will take advantage of the collections and research facilities available at The Field Museum and elsewhere in the Chicagoland area. The salary for this position will be $40,000 per year, plus benefits, and $2,000 in research funds.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until a decision is made. Eligibility: Applicants must have completed all requirements for the Ph.D. (including filing the dissertation) by time of application, and must demonstrate advanced proficiency in the English language.
