Fellowships CAARI offers an active fellowship program. Fellowship opportunities include CAARI-sponsored fellowships as well as several fellowships sponsored by others, such as Fulbright research fellowships, CAORC multi-country fellowships and Kress Foundation fellowships in Art History. The CAARI Director provides guidance to fellows on matters related to their research, on facilities available at CAARI and in Cyprus, and facilitates contacts with relevant local authorities and scholars. In addition to their research work, fellows are asked to give a lecture on their work, participate in roundtable discussions, and are featured speakers at CAARI symposia. GRADUATE STUDENT FELLOWSHIPS SPONSORED BY CAARI:
THE DANIELLE PARKS MEMORIAL FELLOWSHIP Danielle Parks, author of The Roman Coinage of Cyprus (Nicosia, 2004), directed excavations at the Amathus Gate Cemetery and for a time was assistant to the Director of CAARI. She first came to Cyprus as an Anita Cecil O'Donovan Fellow. Her death as a young scholar in 2006, deeply felt by the wide circle of her colleagues and friends, is memorialized here by a fellowship designed to open the world of Cypriot culture to young scholars. This is a fellowship of US$1,000 for a graduate student of any nationality who needs to work in Cyprus to further his/her research on a subject of relevance to Cypriot archaeology and culture. The purpose of the fellowship is to help cover travel to and living expenses in Cyprus. Applications in 2010 are invited especially from students of Hellenistic and Roman Cyprus. While in Nicosia, Cyprus, the fellow will reside at CAARI. During his/her stay, the fellow is expected to give a presentation at CAARI on a subject related to his/her research. The fellow will periodically keep the Director of CAARI apprised of his/her research activities. The fellow will acknowledge CAARI and the Danielle Parks Memorial Fellowship in any publication that emerges from the research carried during the fellowship. THE HELENA WYLDE SWINY AND STUART SWINY FELLOWSHIP: One grant of US$1,000 to a graduate student of any nationality in a college or university in the U.S. or Canada to pursue a research project that is relevant to an ongoing field project in Cyprus or that requires work on Cyprus itself; to be used to fund research time in residence at CAARI and to help defray costs of travel.
