Jean Monnet Fellowships
The annual deadline is 25th
October.
Through its Jean
Monnet Fellowship Programme the Robert Schuman Centre
for Advanced Studies offers yearly between 15 and 20 fellowships to post-docs in
an early stage of their academic career. During their stay at the RSCAS,
fellows work on a selected topic that fits well in the overall research profile
of the RSCAS and they are expected to participate actively in the academic life
of the Centre and of 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.
Selection Criteria
Applications for a Jean Monnet Fellowship should include a description of the
research project on which the applicant proposes to work during a stay at the
Centre. The main criteria during the selection procedure are the CV of the
applicant, the overall scientific quality of the proposal, and the fit of the
proposal with the research programme of the Centre. In
the selection process priority will be given to proposals that fit well with
one or more of the core research themes of the Centre. The current core
research themes of the RSCAS are:
·
Institutions,
Governance, and Democracy
·
Migration
·
Economic and
Monetary Policy
·
Competition
Policy and Market Regulation
·
Energy Policy
·
International and
Transnational Relations
A detailed
description of each of the core themes and of the various projects based at the
Centre can be found on the RSCAS web pages.
Two of the
fellowships will be awarded as ‘Vincent Wright Fellowships’, in memory of the
distinguished political scientist Vincent Wright. These fellowships are usually
awarded to candidates working on European Comparative Politics or European
Comparative History.
The Institute for Democracy Constantinos
