ELIGIBILITY:

The fellowship is open to scholars from across disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, with an emphasis on research on cultural and social diversity, cultural heritage and creativity, societal structures and public resistance, and varieties of cultural expressions in local and global perspectives.

The fellowship programme encourages, but is not limited to, applications from talented younger scholars in non-Western countries and of underrepresented genders.

At the time of application, the candidate must have held a PhD (or equivalent doctoral degree) for at least three years.

Applicants must have a promising track record of independent achievements beyond the post-doctoral level, including significant publications, and be active in international fora.

Candidates are not required to hold a university position at the time of application.

Apply through the Varbi application system by filling in the online form and submitting as PDF files the following required application documents:

A curriculum vitae (not exceeding 4 pages)

A description of your intended research project (not exceeding 1500 words, excluding bibliography if any)

A list of your major articles (up to ten) in international peer-reviewed journals and/or major research monographs or edited volumes

One article of your choice (or chapter in an edited book, or chapter from a monograph by you), representing your scholarship. The article does not have to be related to your proposed research project, but it has to be in English.

An account of why you wish to be at SCAS (rather than at another institute for advanced study) (not exceeding 100 words)

An account of how you would benefit from a stay at SCAS (not exceeding 100 words) 

An account of how you would contribute to the academic and social environment at SCAS (not exceeding 100 words) 

A copy of your PhD diploma

(Optional) up to 3 letters of reference (Please note that letters of reference must be uploaded by the candidate by the application deadline.) It is not possible for referees to upload references into the online application system or send them to SCAS.)

BENEFIT:

Fellows normally receive a monthly salary. However, the Collegium does not match fellows’ salaries at their home university/institute, and fellows are asked to try to obtain other resources for their support, such as sabbatical salaries and/or grants.   

In most cases the Collegium will provide and pay for accommodation for fellows who do not live in the Stockholm–Uppsala region (please see our website). When possible, the Collegium also tries to offer accommodation to fellows from Stockholm who are not able to commute.
