maryxmasVWS Fellowship in Holocaust and Genocide Studies for Ukrainian citizens Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies (CHGS; http://www.chgs.nl ) in Amsterdam invites applications from the Republic of Ukraine for the VWS Fellowship in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, for the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 academic years.
Funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Sport (VWS), the VWS Fellowship is intended to host aspiring scholars and researchers from Ukraine at the CHGS in Amsterdam for guided reading and focused research in Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
The guided reading will center around trend-setting Western books, articles, and bibliographies in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. The focused research, on a topic selected by the fellow and the CHGS staff, aims to produce a manuscript for an English-language article in a reputable international scholarly journal.
During their residence, VWS Fellows will participate in the scholarly life of the CHGS and will be able to use the library and archives of the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation (NIOD; http://www.niod.nl ),
where the CHGS is located, as well as the library system of the University of Amsterdam.
ELIGIBILITY Citizens of Ukraine living in Ukraine who have received the degree of kandydat nauk in Anthropology, History, Literature, Political Science, Sociology, or another relevant field in the humanities and social sciences within the past 8 years
OR: Citizens of Ukraine living in Ukraine who are near completion of a kandydat nauk program in Anthropology, History, Literature, Political Science, Sociology, or another relevant field in the humanities and the
social sciences.
Applicants must demonstrate an interest in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Prior interest or specialization in the history of the Jewish Holocaust is not required from those applicants who demonstrate an interest in a
different twentieth-century genocide or genocidal massacre. Candidates must be able to read and speak English. Candidates who can also read German are particularly encouraged to apply.
STIPENDS The VWS Fellow receives a monthly stipend that covers the cost of housing, living expenses, Dutch visa, air travel to and from Amsterdam, books and other study materials, and health insurance. (Arrangement of the health insurance is the responsibility of the Fellow.)
FELLOWSHIP TENURE The fellowship is for just under three months. Possible renewal, after an interruption during which the VWS Fellow returns to Ukraine, will be considered near the end of the fellowship period. The CHGS can simultaneously host two VWS Fellows.
Those selected for the 2005-2006 academic year shall commence their stay in April 2006. The first of those selected for the 2006-2007 academic year shall arrive in early August 2006.
