The W.F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem supports and facilitates research on the history and societies of the Near East from prehistory through the twenty-first century. Albright scholars document and preserve material and textual evidence as cultural resources and educate the public about the history and cultures of the region.
Applications are open to students and scholars in the fields of archaeology, assyriology, anthropology, biblical studies, art history, epigraphy, historical geography, literature, and religion. We also encourage applications from scholars and graduate students in related disciplines, including museum studies, cultural heritage, and preservation, pursuing projects that focus on contemporary engagement with the pre-modern past. The research period should be continuous, without frequent trips outside the country.
Fellowship terms vary from one to up to 6 months and come with a stipend that is used in part for room/board at the Albright. Residence at the Albright is required, and no exceptions can be made. The option to accommodate dependents is subject to space available at the Albright. All awards are subject to the availability of funds.
Awards range from $3,000 to $12,000 for PhD candidates, up to $70,000 for postdocs.
