The Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory for Archaeological Science of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens is an active research department dedicated to archaeological science in Greece. The Lab provides funding for scholars pursuing interdisciplinary research on archaeological questions pertaining to the ancient Greek world and adjacent areas. Applicants are welcome from any college or university worldwide.

The application deadline for all fellowships is January 15, 2024.

Post-Doctoral Fellowship for 2024–2027
The Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory for Archaeological Science offers a post-doctoral fellowship awarded for three years for question-driven research in the archaeological sciences. 

The purpose of this fellowship is to conduct research addresses substantive problems pertaining to the ancient Greek world and adjacent areas through the application of interdisciplinary methods in the archaeological sciences. Laboratory facilities are especially well-equipped to support the study of human skeletal biology, archaeobiological remains (faunal and botanical), environmental studies, geoarchaeology (particularly studies in human-landscape interactions and the study of site formation processes), and ancient materials studies.

Projects associated with an ASCSA directed or affiliated project will be given priority. Priority will also be given to projects that address substantive problems through the application of interdisciplinary methods in the archaeological sciences, especially those projects directed toward in human skeletal studies, archaeobotany, archaeozoology, geoarchaeology, or materials science, or a combination of these disciplinary approaches.

Research Associate
The Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory for Archaeological Science offers Research Associate appointments to researchers seeking to use laboratory facilities or other resources for short term, focused research projects.

The purpose of these appointments is to conduct short-term, focused research at the Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory for Archaeological Science of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens as part of a program of research that addresses substantive problems pertaining to the ancient Greek world, or adjacent areas, through the application of interdisciplinary methods in the archaeological sciences. Wiener Laboratory facilities are especially well-equipped to support the study of human skeletal biology, archaeobiological remains (faunal and botanical), environmental studies, geoarchaeology (particularly studies in human-landscape interactions and the study of site formation processes), and ancient materials studies.

Priority is given to projects that are part of larger research initiatives that address substantive problems exploring original concepts through the application of interdisciplinary methods in the archaeological sciences.
