The Margo Tytus Summer Residency Program
The University of Cincinnati Classics Department is pleased to announce the Summer Residency Program. Summer Residents, in the fields of philology, history and archaeology will come to Cincinnati for a minimum of one month and a maximum of three during the summer (June 10 - September 10). Apart from residence in Cincinnati during term, the only obligation of Summer Fellows is to pursue their own research. They will receive free university housing. They will also receive office space and enjoy the use of the University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College Libraries.
There is a separate Visiting
Scholars Program for those wishing to research during the academic
year.
The University of Cincinnati Burnam
Classics Library is one of the world's premier collections in the
field of Classical Studies. Comprising 210,000 volumes and other research materials, the library covers
all aspects of the Classics: the languages and literatures, history,
civilization,
art, and archaeology. Of special value for scholars is both the richness
of the collection and its accessibility -- almost any avenue of research
in the classics can be pursued deeply and broadly under a single roof.
The unusually comprehensive core collection, which is maintained by three
professional classicist librarians, is augmented by several special collections
such as 15,000 nineteenth century German Programmschriften , extensive
holdings in Palaeography, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies. At neighboring
Hebrew Union College, the Klau
Library, with holdings in excess of 445,000 volumes, is rich in Judaica
and Near Eastern Studies.
Application Deadline: February 15. Applicants must have the Ph.D. in
hand at the time of application. Only online applications will be accepted.
