Symposia

The Oriental Institute sponsors an annual post-doctoral fellowship and conference program. Post-doctoral Fellows are selected from an international pool of applicants, based on their proposals to organize a two day conference at the Oriental Institute. The conferences address important theoretical or methodological issues in the field of ancient studies—archaeological, text-based, and/or art historical avenues of research. We encourage cross disciplinary proposals that deal with the ancient Near East (including Egypt) or that compare the Near East with other cultural areas. The conferences generally have 10–15 participants, and take place in mid-February each year. After the conference, the Fellow assembles and edits the proceedings for publication in the new series “Oriental Institute Seminars”. The Fellow is also encouraged to pursue his or her own research and may, if they wish, teach a course while in residence and to interact with the Oriental Institute community.
