The Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (IERES) invites applications from US and foreign scholars who need to be in residence in Washington, D.C. for their research and writing on topics related to Europe, Eurasia, the cold war, and/or the interconnections between history, politics and international affairs in Europe and/or Eurasia. Senior scholars, post-doctoral scholars, and students working on their dissertations in the fields of political science, history, international affairs, economics, sociology, anthropology, and language and literature are eligible to apply. Applicants should have funding from elsewhere, such as a fellowship or a university sabbatical. Scholars may be in residence at IERES for a period from one month to one year. Visiting scholars at IERES will have office space and library privileges and will be encouraged to participate in events at IERES and to make a presentation on their work while at IERES. Interested scholars should send their CV, a 2-page description of their research project (including why a residency at IERES would be beneficial, such as to consult with GW faculty, use area archives, or conduct interviews), and the proposed dates of residency to ieresgwu@gwu.edu. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. Where possible, the Institute is grateful for bench fees from visiting scholars.
