Opportunities

BASEES has set up a hardship fund to provide immediate and unbureaucratic financial support to Ukrainian PGT/PGR students based in the UK who are or will become displaced as a result of Russia’s war against Ukraine. Threatened PGT/PGR students from Belarus and Russia, who will be unable to return home for political reasons, are also eligible to apply. Applicants must be or have been registered at an institution of higher education in the UK during the academic year 2021/22, and still be based in the UK.

The IWM has expanded its fellowship opportunities for Ukrainian scholars, cultural figures, and public intellectuals.

The program is addressed to scientists from Ukraine who have Ukrainian citizenship and hold at least a doctoral degree (PhD). The condition for receiving the grant is to be an employee or research associate of a Ukrainian university or other research unit and to submit the required documents.

We are offering one one-year fellowship in residence at the Haifa Center for German and
European Studies for one scientist from Ukraine with a background in the Humanities,
Social Sciences or Law (with a doctorate). The fellowship holder should work on aspects of
modern European history and have a conversational command of English. We will be
flexible concerning the scope and area of studies (Europe in its wider dimensions).

Social scientists who have been displaced by the war in Ukraine are eligible to apply. Selection preference will be given to scientists whose work is germane to the Institute’s.

In each “class”, the Wissenschaftskolleg strives to put together a group of Fellows that is greater than the sum of its individual members. To this end, the Wissenschaftskolleg invites outstanding researchers from all disciplines and from all over the world for a research year in Berlin.

There are two paths to candidacies for fellowships: Candidates for fellowships can either apply on their own behalf or they can be nominated. Applications and nominations can be submitted at any time. We operate an electronic application platform for researchers applying on their own behalf.

The Wissenschaftskolleg also invites a few artists (musicians, authors, film-makers, etc.).

The Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society offers five visiting researcher places (unpaid) to refugee PhD students and scholars from Ukraine who are currently located in the Netherlands. They provide applicants with a bridging opportunity to continue existing research that was interrupted due to the war, to work out an application for an externally funded research or job opportunity or to pursue a related CV-building project. The places are available with immediate effect.

The University of Sydney offers Ukrainian Visiting Fellowships and Ukrainian Visiting PhD Scholarships.

Eligible are current graduate students pursuing a PhD in Jewish Studies at any Ukrainian University who have a good command of English.

Applicants must be PhD students or professional philosophers. The monthly salary is 2000 EUR brutto, about 1700 EUR netto (regardless of qualifications). This is enough to rent a room or small flat, and cover the basic costs of living. You will also have access to shared office facilities, to the library, and to computing facilities. And we give you support in integrating into life here. Unfortunately, we do not have the funds for relocation. Under special circumstances (if you come with children, e.g.) the salary can be increased but this would have to be negotiated ahead of time.

The POLY research group on premodern Christianities at Goethe University is offering five fellowships to Ukrainian academics specialised in medieval or early modern history.

The fellowship is intended for scholars who are carrying out research in a field relevant to the Aleksanteri Institute’s multidisciplinary research profile on Russia, Eastern Europe and Eurasia, and whose place of residence is outside Finland. Applicants can be at any career stage but must hold a PhD degree. The degree must be granted before the application period closes.

Visiting Fellows are expected to contribute to the advancement of Russian, Eastern European and Eurasiaan studies in general and to the research agenda of the Aleksanteri Institute in particular.

Grant-holders are required to have an excellent command of English.

The JX Fund is helping media workers quickly and flexibly to continue their work after they have fled war and crisis zones. It aims to strengthen independent media in exile beyond a current phase of high attention and to support the building of sustainable media outlets accessible for their home countries.

A fellowship for Ukrainian, Russian, Belarussian Media Practitioners at MiCT’s Pop-Up Hub. A safe haven for media practitioners who had to flee due to Putin’s Invasion of Ukraine. A community where they can continue their work, collaborate with other like-minded colleagues and create a new temporary exile home for themselves. The fellowship program is for media producers such as a journalist, editor, photographer, visual artist or illustrator who had to flee due to Putin’s aggression and are currently in Berlin. To be eligible, the applicant must already have an audience in Ukraine, Belarus or in Russia and/or to be affiliated with an existing media outlet from one of those countries.

Journalists must be able to continue to do their work. This is why Free Press Unlimited offers support to media professionals in distress with emergency assistance, legal support, and safety advice through Reporters Respond.

The Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) is accepting applications for its Democracy Fellowship, a year-long in-residence fellowship program for highly qualified Ukrainian journalists and scholars who are unable to continue engaging in their profession due to Putin’s war. The fellowship will provide a critical lifeline to support Ukrainians who are no longer able to pursue their critical work as researchers and journalists/writers in their own country providing truthful information to counter disinformation, engaging in public debates, and contributing to greater understanding of the war, and the authoritarian threat posed by Putin’s Russia.
