Subject: CFP: Dumbarton Oaks Mentorship Program f. East-Central European 
Scholars, 2024/2025

Virtual
Deadline: May 3, 2024

We invite applications for a remote four-session mentorship program 
tailored to early-career scholars, with a special focus on those 
affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This program is meant to 
offer professional development and workshop opportunities around the 
following topics:

- Publishing in top academic journals and books
- Writing successful grant applications
- Preparing successful job documents
- Disseminating research in different contexts

Each professional development event will include presentations from 
experts and opportunities for Q&A and feedback. These events will be 
followed by one-on-one mentoring sessions, which are intended to expand 
on the feedback received, while offering additional tailored guidance 
for each participant. There might be the possibility for an in-person 
gathering of all participants upon the completion of the program.

The four sessions will take place in Fall of 2024 (September-November) 
and Spring of 2025 (February-April). Participants must attend all 
workshops and mentoring sessions to complete the program successfully. 
Upon completion, each participant will receive a certificate.

Eligibility
The successful applicants should be advanced PhD candidates (within 1 
year of completion of their degrees) or junior-level scholars (up to 5 
years since graduation with a doctoral degree).

We encourage historians and art historians with a specialty in the 
medieval or early modern visual culture of East-Central Europe to apply 
to this program. Preference will be given to scholars whose work has 
been disrupted by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. We also welcome 
applicants from East-Central European countries (including but not 
limited to Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, 
Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, 
Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, 
Slovenia) who have been traditionally underrepresented in Anglo-American 
academic circles. We anticipate selecting 6-8 participants for this program.

Applications
To apply, please use the online Embark portal 
(https://www.doaks.org/research/fellowships-and-awards/opportunities-ukraine-scholars) 
to upload a one-page letter of interest with details about your 
research, skills, and reasons for participating; a CV; and the names and 
contact details of two referees who may be contacted to provide support 
letters, if needed, by May 3, 2024.
