Follow on Google News | Biblical Archaeology Society Offers Fellowship for Israeli Scholars to Attend U.S. ConferencesThe Biblical Archaeology Society is accepting applications for the 2012 Joseph Aviram Fellowship which will assist Israeli scholars in reaching Chicago this year for the ASOR and the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) conferences.
The fellowship honors Joseph Aviram, former director of the Israel Exploration Society (IES). Aviram, who, at age 94, remains president of the IES, has been associated with the society for more than 70 years and, as director, oversaw the publication of countless excavation reports, encyclopedias and journals on the archaeology of Israel. He also participated in important excavations and offers sage, conciliatory advice to generations of Israeli archaeologists. Applications for the Joseph Aviram Fellowship should be submitted to the Biblical Archaeology Society by June 1, 2012, and should include a curriculum vitae and a brief description of the subject of the paper, as well as an indication of past presentations at these meetings. Preference will be given to first- or second-time presenters. Joint applications by two or three presenters are accepted; if awarded, the presenters will split the stipend. Applications may be e-mailed to bas@bib-arch.org with “Aviram Fellowship” in the subject line or mailed to: Aviram Fellowship c/o Biblical Archaeology Society 4710 41st Street, NW Washington, DC 20016 # # # The Biblical Archaeology Society (BAS) was founded in 1974 as a nonprofit, nondenominational, educational organization dedicated to the dissemination of information about archaeology in the Bible lands.
