9 months, September through June.

Candidate profile
Candidates at all degree levels are accepted, but graduate-level students are preferred.

Fields of study not recommended

When applicants do not indicate a host institution preference, the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy will seek the most appropriate placements.

Special opportunities
A number of archives, libraries, museums, and research centers are available for research in the fields of history, music, Latvian language, and political science.
