Research Fellowships

Research Fellowships are designed to support post-doctoral scholars early in their careers. Applicants must have a Doctorate or a Ph.D. at the time of application. Qualified scholars are eligible without regard to nationality, institutional, or departmental affiliation; although preference is given to qualified Austrian applicants. Research Fellowships will be granted for one academic semester (1 October – 31 January or 1 March – 30 June).

A thematic link to the IFK’s current research foci on “The politics of looking – visual cultures in conflict” and “The cultural paradoxes of globalization” is desired but not a prerequisite for application. The IFK will also accept “independent” projects within the realm of culture studies and humanities unrelated to the present research foci. Applications may be submitted either in English or German.
