Each year the Wiener Laboratory offers four fellowships in the fields of human skeletal studies, faunal studies, geoarchaeology, and environmental studies. The fellowships are open to scholars with a Ph.D. and those working on a doctoral dissertation; a stipend of approximately $15,500 to $27,000 will be awarded depending on seniority and experience. Applicants must have a well-defined project addressing significant archaeological questions that can be undertaken in the Wiener laboratory within the academic year. The J. Lawrence Angel Fellowship in Human Skeletal Studies is specifically for the study of human skeletal remains from archaeological contexts in Greece; similarly, the Research Fellowship in Faunal Studies is for the study of faunal remains from archaeological contexts in Greece . The Research Fellowship in Geoarchaeology is for individuals whose projects address significant archaeological questions in areas of study which may include quarried stone, lithics, building materials, ceramics, soil and sediment studies. Finally, the Research Fellowship in Environmental Studies is for individuals studying an aspect of the environment such as archaeobotanical studies or specifically the study of seeds, charcoal, phytoliths, pollen etc. from archaeological contexts in Greece .

 

In addition to the proposed research, the Fellow, as a member of the School will be expected to contribute to the development of the Lab's comparative or other collections, assist with queries from excavators, offer a lecture on the work undertaken while at the Lab, participate in one School trip, and contribute to seminars on aspects of archaeological science as part of the American School's annual curriculum. The deadline for applications is 15 January, annually.
