The Center for Contemporary Arab Studies (CCAS) at Georgetown University 
is pleased to announce two Levant Post-Doctoral Fellowship 
opportunities. These fellowships will support two recent PhDs whose 
academic interests focus on the Levantine region – defined as Iraq, 
Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and Turkey - for a period of 
one academic year for the purpose of transforming their dissertation 
into a book manuscript for publication. The fellows will receive a 
stipend of between $40,000 - $45,000, plus benefits.

Applicants must have completed a PhD between January 1, 2011 and August 
31, 2013. The fellowships require residence at Georgetown University for 
the duration of the academic year. The fellows will be given library 
privileges at Georgetown University and shared office space at the 
CCAS. During the fall term the fellows will be expected to deliver a 
lecture at CCAS about their research.  In the spring term, the fellows 
will teach a small seminar of their choosing related to the Levantine 
region.

Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, 
academic transcripts, course proposal, three letters of recommendation 
and a sample chapter and outline of their dissertation. The application 
must be postmarked no later than December 15, 2012.
