Jean Monnet Fellowships
Through its Jean Monnet Fellowship Programme the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) offers fellowships to post-docs in an early stage of their academic career.
While at the RSCAS, fellows work on a selected topic that fits with the research profile of the RSCAS and they are expected to participate actively in the academic life of the Centre and the EUI.
Each fellow is assigned a professorial mentor. Their stay at the Centre should result in the publication of either a RSCAS working paper or a publication in a scientific journal or with an appropriate publishing house.
Applications should include a description of the applicant's planned research project while at the Centre.
The main criteria of selection are the CV of the applicant, the overall scientific quality of the proposal, and the fit of the proposal with the Centre's research programme.
Priority is given to proposals that fit well with one or more of the Centre's core research themes: Institutions, Governance, and Democracy; Migration; Economic and Monetary Policy; Competition Policy and Market Regulation; Energy Policy; and International and Transnational Relations.
Two of the fellowships are awarded to candidates working on European Comparative Politics or European Comparative History as ‘Vincent Wright Fellowships’, in memory of the distinguished political scientist, Vincent Wright.
The Institute for Democracy Constantinos Karamanlis funds the Karamanlis Fellowship on Democracy which is awarded in the framework of the European Observatory on Democracy (EUDO) project.
The annual deadline for applications is 25 October.
