2010-2011 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS FOR RESEARCH IN ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE

The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at MIT (AKPIA@MIT) is
pleased to announce its postdoctoral fellowship program for the academic
year 2010-2011. The fellowship program is intended for scholars with
Ph.D. in any field related to architecture - including architectural,
art, landscape, and urban history, design, technology, computation,
urban planning, anthropology, and archeology - who are engaged in
research on an Islamic topic. One to three fellowships will be granted.
The fellowship duration can range from two months to a maximum of two
semesters, or nine months, of residency, that will have to fall within
the academic year. Fellows are expected to pursue their own research,
give at least one public lecture, submit a substantial report on their
research at the end of their fellowship to be electronically published
by AKPIA@MIT, and participate in the program's scholarly and academic
activities during their stay at MIT.
The fellowship award consists of monthly stipend not to exceed the
amount of $3,100 (before taxes) per month and one roundtrip ticket for
the fellow from his/her place of residence. Fellows will be responsible
to find their own housing and health insurance during their fellowship
period. AKPIA will provide library cards, email accounts at MIT, and a
workplace in the AKPIA@MIT office that might have to be shared with
another fellow.

Deadline for application is March 1, 2010. Results will be announced by
April 26, 2010. Applicants should send a C.V., a research proposal
specifying the desired period of stay and other sources of funding if
available, one substantial writing sample or a portfolio, and two
letters of recommendation. It is strongly suggested that applications
are submitted electronically. Applicants are encouraged to seek other
sources of funding to supplement the fellowship award. Scholars with
their own financial resources or who are on sabbatical and wish to apply
to AKPIA fellowships are also welcome. AKPIA reserves the right to
prorate its fellowship when combined with another grant or fellowship.

Please send all application material to:
