The Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory for Archaeological Science offers the M. H. Wiener Annual Fellowship (formerly, Research Associate Appointment) to researchers seeking to use laboratory facilities or other resources for short term, focused research projects. Priority is given to projects that are part of larger research initiatives that address substantive problems exploring original concepts through the application of interdisciplinary methods in the archaeological sciences.

DEADLINE: January 15, 2025

About the M. H. Wiener Annual Fellowship

Eligibility: Individuals actively enrolled in a graduate program and individuals with a Masters or Doctorate in a relevant discipline. Applicants are welcome from any college or university worldwide. Independent scholars are also welcome to apply.

Former recipients of the Annual Fellowship or Wiener Laboratory Research Associate Appointment must wait two (2) years before applying for a Post- or Pre- Doctoral Fellowship.

Purpose: To conduct short-term, focused research at the Malcolm H.

Wiener Laboratory facilities are especially well-equipped to support the study of human skeletal biology, archaeobiological remains (faunal and botanical), environmental studies, geoarchaeology (particularly studies in human-landscape interactions and the study of site formation processes), and ancient materials studies.

Term: Variable; up to nine (9) months with the next term beginning early September 2025. The applicant is expected to be present at the Wiener Laboratory during the tenure of the appointment. Contributions to the Athens-based ASCSA community during the tenure of the Annual Fellowship appointment, in the form of seminars, colloquia, and workshops, participation in School field trips, or some combination of these and other activities, are encouraged.
