Applications are invited for research fellowships at the pre- or post-doctoral level for projects lasting two to nine months. Awards will include international travel expenses and stipends (subject to availability of funds). The amount of the stipends will be comparable to Fulbright Awards and will be determined by the Fellowships Committee based on availability of funds and current per diem rates as defined by the U S State Department. (Total fellowship support can range from $3000 to $25,000).   Funds may be used for research on materials relating to the history and culture of Pakistan in any country EXCEPT Pakistan and the US.

Eligibility:

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or enrolled/employed full-time in an institution of higher education in the USA. Pre-doctoral applicants should have completed all requirements for the Ph.D. except the dissertation.

Post-doctoral awardees who are not affiliated with an AIPS member institution must pay an administrative fee of $250 before beginning the Fellowship. Pre-doctoral applicants do not need to pay the administrative fee, but should enroll as AIPS individual members prior to commencing the fellowship.
