Call for proposals for the 

2010 Brill Fellowship at the Scaliger Institute

                           

The Scaliger Institute and Brill publishers invite scholars and
researchers to send in proposals for the 2010 Brill fellowship at the
Scaliger Institute of Leiden University Library.

Brill, the oldest scholarly publishing house in The Netherlands based in
Leiden since 1683, is sponsoring the Scaliger Institute for the period
2006-2011. This contribution provides an opportunity for one or two
fellows to come to Leiden University Library each year in order to do
research in the library*s rich Special Collections. The Brill fellowship
is intended for a minimum period of three months. The allowance, which
is intended to cover the costs of accommodation and research, is €1000
per month. Applications can be submitted by mail and post to the board
of the Brill fellowship. The prospective fellow must be involved in one
of the following main subject areas of Brill: Middle East & Islamic
Studies; Asian Studies; Medieval & Early Modern History; Biblical &
Religious Studies; Ancient Near East & Egypt and Classical Studies. 

The Brill fellow is expected to contribute to the activities of the
Scaliger Institute and to give a public lecture. When the occasion
arises, the lecture will be published by Brill in association with the
Scaliger Institute.

Applicants must submit the following information: 

* A 1-3 page research proposal. Applicants should address specifically
the relationship between their proposed project and the primary sources
to be consulted in the Special Collections of Leiden University 

* A list of books and/or manuscripts that are going to be consulted in
the library 
* The projected beginning and ending dates of on-site research (minimum
3 months) 
* A list of publications 
* A curriculum vitae

The closing date for applications of the Brill fellowship 2010 is 31
