SSRC Eurasia Program
2008 Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowships Competition

The Eurasia Program, Social Science Research Council (SSRC) is pleased
to announce its 2008-2009 Title VIII fellowship activities. Eurasia
Program Title VIII Fellowships serve to expand and strengthen the
field of Eurasian studies through the support of research, writing,
advanced-training and curriculum development. All fellowships are
intended to support work on or related to the New States of Eurasia,
the Soviet Union and/or the Russian Empire, regardless of the
applicant's discipline within the social sciences or humanities.

Online applications and supporting materials, including detailed award
descriptions and eligibility criteria, are now available on the SSRC
Eurasia Program website -

www.ssrc.org/programs/eurasia/fellowships/index.page. Fellowships will
be offered in three categories:

Predoctoral Fellowships target individuals at seminal stages of their
graduate careers. They provide essential training opportunities for
individuals in the early stages of their programs as well as support
for advanced students in the intellectually challenging dissertation
write-up stage of their work. Predissertation Training Fellowships
provide up to $7,000 for graduate students who have not yet advanced
to PhD candidacy. Dissertation Write-up Fellowships offer support in
the amount of $22,000 for the 2008-2009 academic year.

Postdoctoral Fellowships support both independent scholars and
university faculty at all levels. Postdoctoral Research Fellowships
provide junior faculty, in particular those who have recently received
PhDs, with $20,000 in support and afford their recipients concentrated
time away from university obligations.

Please note: only U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible to apply.

Contact program staff at eurasia@ssrc.org if you have any questions or
concerns.

Deadline for all fellowship applications is November 13, 2007 at 9:00 pm EST.
