Once again; almost each week; I am assigned an XA:00 short call duty after having landed at XF:00. The trip in this case was even worse than usual since it was seven hours and fifty-seven minutes until on duty time. I awoke at several hours after midnight to commute in for the reserve trip assigned. I flew a flight which departed just before noon with one Captain. [I] then had a 3:57 hour layover at the airport; so of course it was 3 minutes shy of the contractual hotel room for rest. I then flew with a different Captain on an oceanic flight landing at an hour before midnight body time. I had adequate rest at that destination and then we departed at shortly after midnight body time from back to my domicile landing a couple of hours after daybreak. There is absolutely no way to then rest when we are required to be phone available at all times. I received a call mid day for a short call for that night; which I accepted because if we don't; the Crew Desk reports us to our Flight Office. At XC:00; I received a phone call from the crew desk assigning me a trip for that morning. I told them I was fatigued and unfit for the trip. At that point; I had slept 6 hours in the previous 38 hours. We are short on pilots and these assignments are happening all of the time. It is extremely unsafe and it must be changed.
A B757 Reserve First Officer called in fatigued after being assigned another short call trip because she was only able to get six hours of sleep in the previous 38 hours.
