Research Fellowship in Social Sciences or Arts from Collegium Helveticum in Germany

The Collegium Helveticum Institute in Germany offers a Ph.D. research fellowship in a social sciences or arts discipline. Junior fellows spend ten months at the Collegium Helveticum, generally starting on 1 September. Junior fellows are required to be present at the Collegium on weekdays. They will also participate in the regular jours fixes with the other fellows, were once a semester they present and discuss their ongoing work. Junior fellows are encouraged to organize their own events (e.g. workshops, lectures, panel discussions, exhibitions, performances) and will receive support from Collegium staff. Funding is possible for organizing events.

Before applying, applicants for a junior fellowship are asked to contact a professor at ETH Zurich, the University of Zurich or Zurich University of the Arts whose work is relevant to the proposed fellowship project and who agrees to engage as an associated fellow. The professor supports the junior fellowship application with a short letter of support detailing why and how they will support the junior fellow’s research project and how they can help them to build links with Zurich’s university and art community. Applications can also be made without an associated fellow, provided there is a valid reason.

• Junior fellows receive a grant in the form of a full-salaried post at ETH Zurich for the duration of the fellowship. The grant is paid through monthly salary payments. The amount is based on the ETH Zurich postdoc salary rates.
• Junior fellows will be provided with a desk, access to the ETH Zurich IT infrastructure (including email address) and a computer if required. They also have access to the library’s digital subscriptions and ETH Zurich’s sport and activity programs.

• To be eligible, you will need a doctorate in an academic discipline or a master’s degree from an art school. The degree should not be older than 5 years at the time the Fellowship begins.
• Junior fellowships are awarded to candidates who do not have a permanent academic position but do have a proven track record.
