RWI post-doctoral research fellowship application form 2018-19

General information:

The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) announces post-doctoral research fellowships for scholars working on subjects related to human rights issues in Turkey.

The RWI provides post-doctoral research fellowships for Turkish researchers who would like to conduct their research projects at universities or research institutions in Turkey or abroad. The research topics should have strong connections with human rights and humanitarian law issues. A maximum of 4 candidates will be awarded a post-doctoral fellowship.

Fellowships will be provided for a nine to twelve-month period between December 01, 2018-December 30, 2019. Deadline for submission of applications is October 15, 2018.

Fellowships will cover living expenses up to the amount of EUR 1.750 per month for fellows in host institutions outside of Turkey (the amount will be calculated according to living expenses in the host country). Fellowship holders travelling abroad will receive a one-time travel allowance up to EUR 500 including return ticket, visa application and travel insurance fee/expenses. Fellows in universities in Turkey will receive up to 5.000 TL per month. Fellows relocating to a different city for the fellowship will receive a one-time travel allowance.

RWI may hold interviews with the applicants if deemed necessary. Only complete applications will be taken into consideration. An applicant may not be awarded more than one scholarship under this call for the scholarship.
