The post is advertised in connection with the university’s twentieth anniversary celebrations in 2011. The successful candidate is expected to undertake research that complements and interfaces with the research of the Center’s faculty and students.

Central European University (CEU) is a graduate research-intensive university specializing primarily in the social sciences. It is located in Budapest, and accredited in the United States and Hungary. CEU’s mission is to promote academic excellence, state-of-the-art research, and civic engagement, in order to contribute to the development of open societies in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and other emerging democracies throughout the world. CEU offers both Master’s and doctoral programs, and enrolls more than 1,500 students from nearly 100 countries. The teaching staff consists of more than 140 resident faculty, from over 40 countries, and a large number of prominent visiting scholars from around the world. The language of instruction is English.

About the Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies

The Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies (CEMS) promotes the study of the eastern Mediterranean and adjacent regions from antiquity, especially the Hellenistic oikoumene (323–30 BCE), to the end of the Ottoman period (1923).

The center perceives the Mediterranean as an ideal framework for the analysis of interconnections across geographical, chronological, imperial, religious and disciplinary boundaries, focusing on east-west interaction and exchanges, the movement of people, objects and ideas to and from the eastern Mediterranean, as well as imperial (dis)continuities through the Roman, Byzantine, medieval Islamic, and Ottoman eras.

In terms of teaching, CEMS faculty currently offers a non-degree specialization in Late Antique, Byzantine & Early Ottoman Studies under the auspices of CEU’s Department of Medieval Studies while contributing to the departmental core area of The Eastern Mediterranean from Constantine the Great to Suleyman the Magnificent as well as Ottoman & Turkish Studies at CEU.

CEMS currently has seventeen senior members affiliated with five CEU teaching units – the Departments of Philosophy, Medieval Studies, and History as well as the Jewish Studies Project and the recently established Source Language Teaching Group (SLTG) – and about twenty junior members among CEU’s postgraduate research students.

In addition to various research projects conducted by individual senior and junior members the Center is currently engaged in a collective curriculum development project on ‘The Caucasus and Byzantium from Late Antiquity through the Middle Ages’, involving colleagues from Armenia, Georgia and Turkey next to a group of international advisors (2011–2013).

Stipend and bene?ts

William T. Grant Scholars Program 2011(Scholarship)

The William T. Grant Foundation is accepting applications for the William T. Grant Scholars Program which is a professional development program for early-career researchers in the social, behavioral, or health sciences. The program differs from traditional research grants in that it supports career development.

Applications are invited from those who already have a promising track record, but seek a qualitative shift in their trajectory as researchers. Applicants identify areas in which they seek to expand their expertise, and propose five-year research plans to develop it.

The Foundation supports research to understand and improve the everyday settings of youth ages 8 to 25 in the United States. Funding is provided to studies that enhance our understanding of: (1) how settings work, how they affect youth development, and how they can be improved; and (2) when, how, and under what conditions research evidence is used in policy and practice that affect youth, and how its use can be improved.

Eligible Candidates

* Applicants must have received their terminal degree within seven years of submitting their application. We calculate this by adding seven years to the date the doctoral degree was conferred. In medicine, the seven-year maximum is dated from the completion of the first residency.
* Applicants must be employed in career-ladder positions at nonprofit institutions. For many applicants, this means holding a tenure-track position in a university. Applicants in other types of organizations should be in positions in which there is a pathway to advancement in a research career at the organization and the organization is fiscally responsible for the applicant’s position. The award may not be used as a post-doctoral fellowship.
* Applicants outside the United States are eligible. As with U.S. applicants, they must pursue research that has compelling policy or practice implications for the settings of youth ages 8 to 25 in the United States.
* Applicants of any discipline are eligible.

Eligible Organizations

Grants are limited, without exception, to tax-exempt organizations. Any organization applying for a grant must submit a copy of its Internal Revenue Service determination letter(s), or equivalent documentation for organizations located outside the United States.

The application deadline is 6 July 2011. For more information, visit this link.
