Right after the semester-long research project, the fellows are asked to submit an article to be published at CHS Research Bulletin<https://research-bulletin.chs.harvard.edu/>, and before the end of their year-long appointment, they are asked to submit a project report. Throughout the appointment, and especially during its second half, fellows are invited to participate in various CHS activities to share their findings and collaborate with other fellows and members of the CHS community.

Berlin Graduate School of Ancient Studies (BerGSAS)

Announcement of 2 Scholarships for Doctoral Studies (October 2026 - September 2030) in the Doctoral
Program “Landscape Archaeology and Architecture”
The Graduate School Scholarship Program (GSSP) of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is offering two (2)
doctoral scholarships for aspiring PhD students within the framework of the “Landscape Archaeology and Architecture”
doctoral program of the BerGSAS, https://www.berliner-antike-kolleg.org/en/bergsas/programme/laa/index.html
We welcome applications from highly qualified graduates from the fields of:
Prehistoric Archaeology, Classical Archaeology, Near Eastern Archaeology; Egyptology and Northeast African
Archaeology with a focus on Landscape Archaeology.
Applicants must hold an excellent master's degree (MA, MSt, or MSc) in one of the aforementioned disciplines or be
very close to completion. Very close to completion means that the Master’s thesis must have been submitted and has
already been graded at the time of application.
Objectives of the doctoral program “Landscape Archaeology and Architecture”
The focus of the doctoral program "Landscape Archaeology and Architecture" is not on the archaeology of specific
regions, or spaces, but rather on the spectrum of methods and research strategies applied in the study of landscape
archaeology and architectural history. We encourage candidates whose doctoral projects would fit within this broad
framework to submit their applications. We welcome projects that deal with the intertwining of landscape and
economy, or focus on cultural anthropology and social archaeology, or apply geostatistical and multivariate methods.
During the course, doctoral researchers are required to complete the curriculum of the doctoral program (cf.
academic rules and regulations on website).
Who can apply? (please note that these requirements are binding)
• This call is open ONLY to applicants who are not German citizens
• Applicants must not have completed a PhD previously
• The Master’s degree must not have been completed before March 1, 2020
• Applicants must not have resided in Germany continuously before December 1, 2024
Duration of the scholarship and funding
The scholarship is available from October 2026 (Berlin winter semester 2026/27) for four years, subject to a
satisfactory annual progress review. In accordance with DAAD guidelines, the scholarship holders receive a stipend of
1,300 Euros a month, a travel allowance, payments towards health, accident and liability insurance cover, allowances
for study and research (and, where applicable, rent and family allowances) as well as financial support for a pre-
sessional German language course. Plus, material resources of 1,000 Euros per year, administered by the supervisor’s
institute. Research stays outside of Germany during the funding period may be supported if they do not exceed 25%
of the total funding period, and do not take place directly at the beginning of the funding period.
Application process
Applications must be submitted via the BerGSAS portal by 15 October 2025, 00:00 CET, quoting the
reference 2026-LAA-BerGSAS-GSSP. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.
