Through its Jean Monnet Fellowship Programme the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) 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;
- Culture, Knowledge and Innovation;
- International and Transnational Relations.
Deadline: 25 October 2008.
The online application form for the Jean Monnet Fellowships for the academic year 2009/10 will be accessible on the web from early July 2008.
