ANNOUNCEMENT OF MEMBERSHIPS
IN THE SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL STUDIES
for the academic year 2006-2007

INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY
Einstein Drive
Princeton, New Jersey 08540

Deadline: 15 November 2005

THE INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY was founded in 1930 as a community of
scholars in which intellectual inquiry can be carried out in the most
favorable circumstances. It provides Members with libraries, offices,
seminar and lecture rooms, subsidized restaurant and housing facilities
and some secretarial and word-processing services.

THE SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL STUDIES supports scholarship in all fields of
historical research, but is concerned principally with the history of
western, near eastern and far eastern civilizations, with particular
emphasis upon Greek and Roman civilization, the history of Europe
(medieval, early modern, and modern), the Islamic world, East Asian
studies, the history of art, and modern international relations. The
School also offers the Edward T. Cone Membership in Music Studies.
Qualified candidates of any nationality are invited to apply for
memberships. Residence in Princeton during term time is required. The
only other obligation of Members is to pursue their own research. If
they wish, Members may participate in seminars and meetings both within
the Institute and at nearby universities, and there are ample
opportunities for contacts with other scholars.

Approximately forty Members are appointed for either one or two terms
each year. The Ph.D. (or equivalent) and substantial publications are
required of all candidates at the time of application. Member awards are
funded by the Institute for Advanced Study or by other sources,
including the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Thyssen
Foundation and the Gerda Henkel Foundation.

APPLICATION may be made for one or two terms (September to December,
January to April).
