Application for visiting research fellows

Stockholm University Institute for Turkish Studies welcomes applications for visiting research fellows at the doctoral and postdoctoral levels. Research at Institute addresses Turkey and Turkish affairs and encompasses both the social sciences and the humanities.

SUITS is pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for Fellow Residencies for scholars seeking a hosting institution. We do not offer funding but provide a supportive research environment to scholars whose work is funded by other institutions. Limited travel grants for conferences and/or research may be available for our Resident Fellows.

We especially encourage applications from scholars applying to RJ (Riksbankens Jubileumsfond), VR (Vetenskapsrådet), and MSCA Fellowships (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions), but other funding sources will also be considered . We also encourage applications from members of traditionally underrepresented groups.

Application Process

Applications are considered on a rolling basis. Please send your application request to SUITS at least two months before the grant deadline. Materials should be mailed to suits@suits.su.se with “Fellowship Application” and your name in the subject line. You may also ask project-specific questions not answered in the guidelines.
