The Inaugural Sharmin and Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani Center Dissertation Completion Fellowship is Open for Applications for the 2024-25 Academic Year.

Established in 2012, the Sharmin and Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies supports teaching and research on all aspects of Iran and Persian Gulf Studies at Princeton University. We encourage a comprehensively interdisciplinary approach to advance the understanding of the region, with special attention to its role and significance in the contemporary world. Our scholars and students explore a broad range of topics that address history, politics, economy, religion, literature, art and culture with a primary focus on the modern states that border the Persian Gulf.

In addition to the financial support offered by the fellowship, the Dissertation Completion award encourages its recipient to engage regularly with Center faculty and researchers both informally and also by attending its robust Wednesday seminar series where intellectual exchanges and connections occur.

To apply, visit the Dissertation Completion Grant page, under the Funding menu, on the Mossavar-Rahmani Center website.

Applications are due by Friday, April 19, 2024.
