Overview
The European Institutes for Advanced Study (EURIAS) Fellowship Programme is an international researcher mobility programme offering 33 fellowships for the 2011/2012 academic year. It proposes 10-month residencies in one of the 14 participating Institutes: Berlin, Bologna, Brussels, Bucharest, Budapest, Cambridge, Helsinki, Jerusalem, Lyons, Nantes, Paris, Uppsala, Vienna, Wassenaar. The Programme builds on the strong reputation of the Institutes for Advanced Study for promoting the concentrated, self-directed work of excellent researchers within the stimulating environment of a multidisciplinary and international group of fellows.
EURIAS Fellowships are mainly offered in the fields of the humanities and social sciences but may also be granted to scholars in natural and exact sciences, if their proposed research project does not require laboratory facilities. The diversity of the 14 participating IAS —which have agreed on a common selection procedure— offers a wide range of possible research contexts in Europe for worldwide scholars. Applicants select up to three IAS outside their country of nationality or residence as possible host institutions.
The Programme welcomes applications worldwide from promising scholars at an early stage of their careers as well as from established senior researchers.
The EURIAS Fellowship Programme offers two types of 10-month fellowships according to research experience:
Junior fellows:
Researchers having, by the time of the application:
- minimum : a PhD (or a Master or equivalent + 4 years of full-time research experience)
- maximum : 7 years of full-time research experience after obtaining a PhD (or 11 years of research experience after obtaining a Master or equivalent).
Senior fellows:
Researchers having, by the time of the application,
- more than 7 years of full-time research experience after obtaining a doctorate
- or more than 11 years of research experience after obtaining a Master or equivalent.
Application assessment
The selection of applicants who are eligible for a fellowship is competitive, merit-based and conducted through an internationally independent and recognised peer review process.
The EURIAS Fellowship Programme undertakes a detailed qualitative assessment according to the following criteria:
– Scientific excellence of the applicant
– Quality of the proposal (innovative, path-breaking, high-impact)
– Ability to carry out the research proposal
– Theoretical and methodological framework of the research proposal
– Impact beyond intra-disciplinary specialisations
– Interdisciplinary potential of the research proposal
– Significance of the research proposal for the international academic community
– Relevance of a residency in an Institute for Advanced Study for the research project
– Expected impact of the fellowship on training and career development
– Proven language capacity (most IAS operate in an English-language environment, but research can be conducted in any language, and language diversity is welcome).
Peer review
For the evaluation of the research proposals, the EURIAS Fellowship Programme resorts to the advice of external referees chosen, according to their specific expertise and research interests, out of a pool of some 75 referees. Selection of the external referees is based on individual excellence, an overall coverage of social sciences and humanities (and in some cases natural and exact sciences), diversity of geographic origin, age and gender balance.
Selection Committee
The Selection Committee is composed of one scientific representative of each participating IAS plus three external internationally recognized scholars with specific expertise in ethics. The members are selected for their scientific excellence, their international experience and their openness to interdisciplinarity.
On the basis of the scientific assessment made by the experts and as a result of its discussions, the Selection Committee agrees on a short-list of fellows to be proposed to the IAS.
How to apply
Candidates apply exclusively through the online application system. Paper applications are not accepted.
To access the online application system, please create an account (see USER SPACE) and follow the procedure. After the registration of your account, you will be able to fill in an application form and to upload the relevant documents (in English exclusively).
In order to provide evaluators with relevant information to perform their work efficiently, EURIAS fellowship applicants have to submit:
– The completed EURIAS application form
– A detailed project proposal
– CV
– List of publications
– For candidates applying for junior fellowships, two letters of recommendation from scholars who are familiar with their academic work.
Applicants are also asked to specify the following in their proposals:
– The relevance and connections of the research to a wider academic context
– The aims and methods of research
– The current state and schedule of the applicant’s research
– The cooperation partners, including national and international contacts, if applicable
– The interdisciplinary dimension of the research, if relevant
– The importance of trans-national mobility for achieving research objectives
– Their career plans and motivation for participating in the programme
– Issues concerning research ethics, if relevant
Applicants are required to indicate up to three IAS as the most adequate host institutions in the order of preference, and to justify their choices.

The Programme welcomes applications worldwide from promising scholars at an early stage of their careers as well as from established senior researchers. During their fellowship, EURIAS fellows benefit from the high-quality research environment and working conditions provided by the host Institute. All IAS have agreed on common standards for EURIAS fellows, including the provision of a living allowance (in the range of € 26,000 for a junior fellow and € 38,000 for a senior fellow), accommodation (or a mobility allowance), a research budget, plus coverage of travel expenses.

the content of the application, eligibility criteria, selection procedure, etc.
– The deadline for application is September 10th 2010. Late applications will not be considered.
