Fellowships and Funding

Thanks to the generosity of donors and members, the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies is offering a limited number of grants, with a maximum stipend of $6,000, for the purposes of summer dissertation writing on any aspect of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian studies in any discipline. The writing grant program is directed at PhD students at US universities who do not qualify for the ASEEES Dissertation Research Grant because they do not intend to conduct research in the region. Therefore, current or past recipients of the ASEEES Dissertation Research Grants are not eligible. Students may only receive ONE Summer Dissertation Writing Grant over the course of their graduate studies. 

Due April 1

Applications are invited for postdoctoral bursaries from candidates in any area of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. We would particularly welcome applications linked to the themes of the new Institute Project on Decoloniality (IPD'24) taking place at IASH from 2021 to 2024. This project invites scholars from around the world to visit Edinburgh and conduct research on the theme of decoloniality, broadly understood. We and our partners warmly encourage applications exploring issues including but not limited to: decolonising the curriculum; anticolonial and decolonial theory; neo-colonialism; intellectuals in and from the Global South; intersectionality and multiple inequalities; decolonising gender and sexuality; race and racialisation; de-centering Western feminist knowledge production; Scotland’s role in the British Empire; reparations; the University of Edinburgh’s colonial legacy and alumni roles in the slave trade; and the histories of Edinburgh graduates and staff of colour. It is important to note that we still welcome applications on all topics and in all areas of the arts, humanities and social sciences to continue IASH’s traditional interdisciplinary work across the 12 CAHSS schools, alongside IPD’24.

Europe has a vibrant and exciting science and technology culture and offers many excellent and generous career funding opportunities for researchers and innovators, no matter where they come from in the world. Horizon Europe, the European Union’s research and innovation funding program, will be the world’s largest multinational R&I program. In addition to funding collaborative research projects, it will offer opportunities to individual researchers. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and European Research Council grants will be open to researchers from public and private organizations, who would like to spend time in Europe, regardless of their nationalities, careers stage, or field of research. Experts will present these opportunities and guide the audience through the options and practicalities of application.
