The American Council of Learned Societies will conduct a fifth (2009-
10) year of the program of grants to individuals in the archaeology and
early history of East and Southeast Asia. This program is undertaken in
cooperation with the Henry Luce Foundation.
Postdoctoral and dissertation research fellowships and translation grants
will be awarded for study of the peoples and cultures of early East and
Southeast Asia. Comparative projects and those that build scholarly
networks are especially encouraged. Proposals may cover prehistoric or
historical periods, but must focus on research or training that involves
excavations and/or excavated materials.
For the purposes of this program, "East and Southeast Asia" refers to
Brunei, Burma/Myanmar, Cambodia, China, East Timor, Hong Kong,
Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines,
Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Henry Luce Foundation/ACLS grants to individuals seek to
promote research, including the interpretation and analysis of sites,
artifacts, and texts;
train the next generation of specialists;
foster cooperation among specialists in East and Southeast Asia, and
the United States and Canada; and
bring to wide public appreciation the results of recent discoveries and
research.
Eligibility: Applicants must be residents of the United States or Canada and
have their primary professional affiliation at an institution in this region.
Applicants must hold an advanced degree in a relevant discipline such as
archaeology, art history, literature, or history, must be nearing completion
of such a degree, or must possess commensurate experience at archives,
museums, or field sites. Linguistic ability sufficient to conduct the work
proposed is required.
General inquiries about the competition should be sent via e-mail to the
ACLS office in New York at fellowships@acls.org.

The Cornell Archaeology Program invites applications for the
Hirsch Postdoctoral Associate in Archaeology starting in fall 2009. We invite
applications from scholars who have completed the Ph.D. within the last five
years with a specialization in archaeology. The position is for one year, with
the possibility of renewal for a second year. The Hirsch Postdoctoral Associate
will teach one undergraduate course (with optional graduate section) each
semester, and will deliver at least one public lecture each year (one of which
may form part of the Finger Lakes AIA or NYSAA lecture series). The balance of
the Hirsch Postdoctoral Associate's time is to be devoted to his/her own
research. The Hirsch Postdoctoral Associate is required to be in residence at
Cornell during the semesters of her/his tenure, but is free to conduct fieldwork
in the summer or during the winter break if desired. This position is open to
all archaeologists, without restriction on area or time period. We seek scholars
whose work has broad appeal, preferably interdisciplinary across two or more of
the constituent departments of the Cornell Archaeology Program (Anthropology,
Classics, Historic Preservation, History of Art and Visual Studies, Near Eastern
Studies, and Landscape Architecture) and potentially beyond. The salary for this
position will be $40,000 per year, with benefits, and $2,000 per year in
research funds. The deadline for receipt of applications is May 1, 2009, with
decision expected by May 20, 2009.
Eligibility: Applicants must have received the Ph.D. degree no earlier than May
1, 2004. Applicants who will complete all requirements for the Ph.D. degree (including
filing the dissertation) by June 30, 2009 are eligible to apply. The completion
date for the Ph.D. degree will in no circumstances be waived or extended.
Applications: Please send, by hard copy only, a letter of application, CV,
writing sample, list of courses that you can teach, and letters from three
references by May 1, 2009, to:

The Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts announces its program for Paul Mellon and Ailsa
Mellon Bruce Visiting Senior Fellowships. Fellowships are for full-time research, and scholars are expected
to reside in Washington and to participate in the activities of the Center throughout the fellowship
period. Lectures, colloquia, and informal discussions complement the fellowship program. Visiting senior
fellows are provided with studies. They have access to the notable resources represented by the collections,
the library, and the photographic archives of the National Gallery of Art, as well as to the Library
of Congress and other specialized research libraries and collections in the Washington area.
Fields of Study
Applications will be considered for research in the history, theory, and criticism of the visual
arts (painting, sculpture, architecture, landscape architecture, urbanism, prints and drawings, film,
photography, decorative arts, industrial design, and other arts) of any geographical area and of any
period. Applications are also solicited from scholars in other disciplines whose work examines artifacts
or has implications for the analysis and criticism of visual form. Qualifications and Selection.
Visiting senior fellowships are intended for those who have held the Ph.D. for five years or more or
who possess an equivalent record of professional accomplishment at the time of application. Individuals
currently affiliated with the National Gallery of Art are not eligible for the visiting senior fellowship
program. Visiting senior fellowships are awarded without regard to the age or nationality of applicants.
Applications are reviewed by an external selection committee composed of scholars in the history of
art and related disciplines. Outside readers may assist in the evaluation of proposals.
Support
The Center awards up to twelve short-term (up to 60 days) Paul Mellon and Ailsa Mellon Bruce Visiting
Senior Fellowships. Visiting senior fellows receive stipends that include round-trip travel and local
expenses. Stipends for two-month fellowships range from $6,000 to $8,000, depending on relocation requirements.
Visiting senior fellows who relocate to Washington will be provided with housing in apartments near
the Gallery, subject to availability. In addition, fellows receive allowances for photography. Associate
Appointments
The Center will consider appointment of associates who have obtained awards for full-time research from
granting institutions other than their home institutions and would like to be affiliated with the Center.
Appointments to associate status will be considered for periods of up to 60 days. Qualifications and
selection for associate status are the same as those for visiting senior fellows.
Applications
Candidates for visiting senior fellowships should submit seven sets of all materials, including
application forms, proposals, and photocopies of one article or chapter of a book. Two letters of recommendation
in support of the application are required. Procedures for associate appointments are the same as those
for the visiting senior fellowship program. Visiting senior fellowships may not be postponed or renewed.
Visiting senior fellows may receive awards in three consecutive years but thereafter must wait three
years before reapplying to the Center. Individuals may not apply for other Center fellowships while
an application is pending or once a fellowship has been awarded. The application deadlines and award
periods are as follows:
