University of Groningen, Research Fellowship Programme 2024Location: Location: The Netherlands | Workplace: On site
Making connections The Faculty of Arts of the University of Groningen introduces a new fellowship programme. We invite early career researchers and internationally renowned senior humanities scholars to come to our vibrant city to make connections: with our researchers, with our students and with the residents of Groningen. To share their expertise and learn from ours, to strengthen and expand scientific networks, give expert lectures, collaborate in publications and to explore possibilities for a joint grant application.
What can be applied for?
Candidates can apply for either a junior or a senior fellowship. The Faculty of Arts offers four junior fellowships and two senior fellowships each year.
The senior fellowships are distributed over the research institutes as follows:
- Groningen Institute of Archaeology (GIA): 1 every other year
- Groningen Research Institute for the Study of Culture (ICOG): 1 per year
- Centre for Language and Cognition Groningen (CLCG): 1 every other year
For the junior fellowships, no such distribution provisions apply.
Fellows will receive:
- Guest status, providing access to all UG facilities, including the University Library, printers and flexible desk space;
- A bench fee up to €3,000,- (junior fellows)/ €6,000,- (senior fellows) for a maximum of one semester, to cover:
- Travel expenses;
- Accommodation expenses;
- Costs concerning the application for a Visa.
Please note that reimbursement of expenses will be paid provided that receipts are available. All costs that exceed the funding amount will be paid at the expense of the (junior/senior) fellow.
Who can apply?
