KATHRYN AND PETER YATRAKIS FELLOWSHIP
Deadline: January 15, 2022
The Yatrakis Fellowship supports research on topics that require use of the Gennadius
Library. Opened in 1926 with the 26,000-volume collection of diplomat and bibliophile
Joannes Gennadius, the Gennadius Library houses today 145,000 titles of rare books and
bindings, research materials, manuscripts, archives, and works of art that illuminate
Hellenism, Greece, and neighboring civilizations from antiquity to modern times. Rare maps
of the Mediterranean, early editions of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and a laurel wreath
belonging to Lord Byron are just some of the unique items. Holdings of 90,000 research
titles in open stacks complement the rare books and other collections to create a
comprehensive resource for the history of Greece through the ages.
Eligibility: Ph.D. candidates and recent Ph.D.s (within the last 5 years) for work in the
Gennadius Library for the full academic year. Open to all nationalities.
Terms: A stipend of $11,500 plus room and board in Loring Hall, and waiver of School fees.
Fellows are expected to be in residence at the School for the full academic year from
early September to late May. A final report is due at the end of the award period, and the
ASCSA expects that copies of all publications that result from research conducted as a
Fellow of the ASCSA be contributed to the Gennadius Library. Fellows are expected to
participate in the academic life of the School.
Application: Submit an online application form for “Associate Membership with Fellowship.”
An application consists of a curriculum vitae, description of the proposed project (up to
750 words), and three letters of reference to be submitted online. Student applicants must
submit transcripts. Scans of official transcripts are acceptable.
