Are you an academic looking for an opportunity to conduct original research and publish in an international peer-reviewed journal? Central European University (CEU) is calling for Visiting Research Fellowships for the academic year 2014-15. The fellowship program is supported by the Higher Education Support Program of the Open Society Foundations. Ten fellowships will be offered to academics employed in higher education institutions who want to spend one or two semesters at CEU in Budapest, Hungary, conducting original research that will lead to a groundbreaking publication in an international peer-reviewed journal. The fellowship program is administered by the Office of the Provost and Academic Pro-Rector, and the fellows can be hosted by any CEU school, department or research centre.
The fellowship covers travel costs to and from Budapest, accommodation and a monthly stipend of 1,800 USD per month for a period of three to six months (one or two consecutive terms at CEU). Eligible applicants should be employed, full-time or part-time, in a teaching and/or research institution in their home country at the time of application; have a PhD or equivalent; and have a research record in an area that falls under one or more CEU academic units (schools, departments and research centres).
