UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI

MARGO TYTUS VISITING SCHOLARS PROGRAM


The University of Cincinnati Classics Department is pleased
to announce the Margo Tytus Visiting Scholars Program. Tytus
Fellows, in the fields of philology, history and archaeology will
ordinarily be at least 5 years beyond receipt of the Ph.D. Apart
from residence in Cincinnati during term, the only obligation of
Tytus Fellows is to pursue their own research. Fellowships are
tenable during the regular academic year (October 1 to May 31).

There are two categories of Tytus Fellowships, long-term and
short-term.
Long Term Fellows will come to Cincinnati for a
minimum of one academic quarter (two and a half months) and a maximum
of three during the regular academic year. They will receive a
monthly stipend of $1000 plus housing and a transportation allowance.
Short Term Fellows will come to Cincinnati for a
minimum of one month and a maximum of two during the regular
academic year. They will receive housing and a transportation
allowance.

Both Long Term and Short Term Fellows will also receive
office space and enjoy the use of the University of Cincinnati and
Hebrew Union College Libraries. While at Cincinnati Tytus Fellows
will be free to pursue their own research.

The University of Cincinnati Burnam Classics Library is one
of the world's premier collections in the field of Classical Studies.
Comprising 185,000 volumes, 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 400,000
volumes, is rich in Judaica and Near Eastern Studies.

Application Deadline: January 1.
