İAE-ANAMED Joint Fellowship

Istanbul Research Institute (İAE) and Koç University’s Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) are pleased to announce a new joint fellowship to support one post-doctoral scholar conducting research on the archaeology, architecture, art history, heritage, or history of Istanbul. The fellow will benefit from residence in Istanbul and the facilities of both the İAE and ANAMED.

All candidates must be conversant in English and agree to take on no other obligation (e.g., part-time teaching) during the fellowship term. The successful applicant will hold the fellowship for the fall term of the 2023-2024 academic year in residence at ANAMED in Istanbul and must be able to carry out the proposed research with resources available in both institutions and thus in Turkey.

The fellowship offers benefits include a monthly stipend to cover expenses not already included in the fellowship, international travel costs to and from Turkey, accommodation at ANAMED, five meals per week or support for the same, health insurance, a modest research budget, a workspace, and full access to the research and library facilities, events, and scholarly communities within both sponsoring institutions.

2020 - 2021 Grants

Istanbul Research Institute commits itself to support researchers who could expand the literature in the field of Istanbul studies with novel approaches and un-earthed sources. To this end, we have called for applications in four grant categories in 2020: Post-Doctoral Research and Writing Grant, Research and Write-Up Grant for PhD Candidates, Travel Grants, and Conference Grants. We cherish the fact that our calls attracted a great number of hard-working researchers who put enormous effort into proposing their valuable research for the grants we offered. This year, the pandemic of novel coronavirus Covid-19 forced many conferences to be cancelled or postponed, a phenomenon that diminished the conference grant applications. Therefore, we have increased the number of travel grants recipients in a way that would support researchers from Turkey who plan to travel abroad. With great delight we introduce the researchers whose projects we took pride in supporting.
