LSA Manoogian Postdoctoral and Visiting Scholar Fellowships for International Students in USA, 2019

Applications are now open for Manoogian Foundation Postdoctoral and Visiting Scholar Fellowships; this is made possible by a generous gift from the Alex and Marie Manoogian Foundation. Fellowships are available for International students.

The University of Michigan’s Armenian Studies Program promotes the study of the history, language, and culture of Armenia and Armenians and helps prepare a new generation of scholars in the field. Through its work in the United States and abroad, the program strives to contribute to the scholarly analysis and understanding of the challenges the Armenian people have faced at home and in the Diaspora; ASP adds a comprehensive program to the rigorous curriculum offered by the two endowed chairs in Armenian studies.

Fellowships for Visiting Scholars

Visiting Scholars, who are invited for one semester (Fall or Winter), will be asked to teach one class, participate in ASP sponsored events, and present one public lecture. Fellowships may also be offered for mini-courses to be taught over three or four weeks. Preference will be given to candidates outside the disciplines of history, language, and literature which are already taught by our ASP faculty. Previously awarded visiting scholars should wait seven years before applying for this program again.
