General information about what NIAS has to offer, and what a fellowship entails.
NIAS offers individual fellowships to scholars who wish to carry out research in the humanities and the social sciences. For five or ten months, scholars are offered the time and space to work on a topic of their own choice. Both scholars based in the Netherlands and scholars based abroad can apply for an individual fellowship. Individual fellowships are for scholars who have at least 3 years experience since you obtained your PhD-degree.
NIAS offers two types of theme-group fellowships for scholars of different backgrounds who wish to collaborate on a particular subject or theme: the NIAS Theme-group Fellowship and the NIAS-Lorentz Theme-group Fellowship.
For scholars working in specific disciplines or research areas, NIAS cooperates with co-sponsoring partners to offer fellowships that reach specific disciplines or encourage and support a particular research goal.
