2012 CES Pre-Dissertation Research Fellowships, The Council for European Studies, Columbia University, US

The Council for European Studies invites eligible graduate students to apply

for the 2012 CES Pre-Dissertation Research Fellowships. Each
fellowship includes a $4,000 stipend, travel support for attending and
presenting at the CES International Conference for Europeanists, and
the opportunity to publish in Perspectives on Europe, a bi-yearly journal of
the Council for European Studies.

Eligibility: CES Pre-Dissertation Fellowships are intended to fund a
student’s first major research project in Europe, thus, graduate students
who have already engaged in extensive field work and study in Europe are not
eligible. Likewise, applicants must be in the early, exploratory stage of
their research; late-stage ABD students are not eligible. Also, applicants
are expected to have already finished the majority of their doctoral
coursework and must be currently enrolled in a doctoral program at a
university that is a member of the Council for European Studies’ Academic
Consortium. Students whose universities are not currently members of the
CES consortium are welcome to apply, and every effort will be made to enroll
the institution in the CES member consortium and, thus, establish the
student's eligibility.

*Applications are due (along with all supporting materials) on or
before February 1, 2012. *
