Fellowship Program for Emerging Displaced Scholars
With the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Columbia Global Centers | Amman has established the Mellon Fellowship Program to support emerging displaced scholars working in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. The goal of the program is to create opportunities for scholars to reintegrate into academia and resume their academic pursuits. The deadline to apply is July 2nd, 2022. Eligible candidates are scholars in the humanities and humanistic social sciences who have been forcibly uprooted from their home countries and respected academic institutions. They could be graduate students who have had their education disrupted or post-doctoral scholars in the early stages of their careers. Creative writers, artists, and curators may also apply. You can find the link to this opportunity here.

Call for NEA Volunteers
As part of its new Non-English Language Abstract Initiative, Near Eastern Archaeology is in need of volunteers with a background in Near Eastern archaeology who are native-language speakers of Arabic (with a strong command of Classical), Farsi, Greek, Hebrew, and Turkish. The volunteers will be required, when necessary, to proof-read abstracts of no more than 150 words each in the relevant language. NEA publishes up to eight articles four times a year. Attention to detail is necessary, as is the ability to work within a deadline. To volunteer, please send a statement of interest and a CV to NEA Editor, Stephanie L. Budin at nea-editor@asor.org.
