NIAS is seeking applications for the Regular NIAS Fellowships 2012/13 for the Dutch scholars. The fellowship is awarded to outstanding researchers and senior scholars working in the fields of humanities and social sciences who have made a notable contribution to their field. Researchers proposing an interdisciplinary project are usually given preference for award of fellowship. Projects closely related to an already externally funded project are also given the preference.
In the years 2012/13/14 NIAS specially welcomes projects that are related to the following topics:
Eligibility and Selection Criteria
At least 3 years of post-Ph.D. degree academic experience is a prerequisite for eligibility. Scholarly achievements, obtained grants and awards, and reputation and quality of publications are aspects considered in the evaluation process. Moreover, the added value of the proposed project for the Dutch scientific community is an important criterion for selection.
Applications by former NIAS Fellows and scholars at the end of their career will be given low priority.
