Application deadline: August 22, 2021

Each year, about 30 individuals from around the world participate in the institute’s Fellow Programme. During their stay, Fellows work with each other and with IASS researchers, providing expertise, inspiration, and creative input. In return, the IASS offers Fellows the opportunity to develop their ideas in an international community of eminent researchers, not only within the institute, but also in the wider Potsdam-Berlin area. In keeping with the institute’s transdisciplinary approach to research, Fellows are encouraged to engage with stakeholders from all areas of society.

We particularly welcome proposals that envisage active collaboration with IASS researchers and aim to achieve joint outputs with one or more of the institute’s research groups. With this in mind, applicants are encouraged to contact the coordinator of the Fellow Unit and to consult directly with researchers at the IASS while developing their project idea.

Applications should be related to one of the current research areas of the IASS. You can find the research areas here: https://www.iass-potsdam.de/en/research.

Although all proposed projects should relate to at least one of the Research Areas, they do not need to be tailored towards a specific research group. Indeed, the IASS works in a number of dynamic fields and its research landscape is constantly evolving. We especially therefore aim to attract Fellows who inspire the entire Institute and who span the boundaries of individual research projects.

Fellowships are open to individuals at all career stages and may be combined with sabbaticals. The IASS strongly encourages experts with a strong interest in sustainability and societal transformation to apply for this programme. Applicants can come from a wide range of sectors such as science, public administration, the private sector, civil society, media and the arts.

Applicants from the scientific community are expected to generally have a PhD or similar level of experience. For those outside academia, several years’ work experience in a given field is a requirement.

Fellows will receive financial compensation to cover their additional costs of living during their stay in Germany. The exact amount will depend on the particular situation of the successful applicant (e.g. whether they are on paid or unpaid leave) and will be decided on an individual basis. On request, the IASS can also provide limited resources to cover travel expenses, publication fees, support for organising workshops, production costs for artistic work, etc.

The minimum duration of Fellowships is three months, and the maximum duration is twelve months. Fellows are expected to be physically present at the IASS during their stay and actively contribute to the work of the institute, for example by holding seminars and participating in other IASS activities. The intended starting period for Fellowships is spring/summer 2022. Fellows are permitted to interrupt their fellowship and may even divide it into several stages. However, the IASS is aware that the Corona pandemic may not be over by early 2022. Special arrangements will be made possible, e.g. beginning the Fellowship remotely and physically joining at a later stage when travel is permitted.

The deadline for applications is 23:59 Central European Standard Time on 22 August 2021. Applications will undergo a formal review process overseen by the Fellow Unit. This will include an internal review by IASS research group leaders, as well as an external review of the short-listed top candidates. The final decision will be made by the Board of Directors in late autumn 2021. Here and elsewhere, the IASS strives for diversity in terms of geographic background and gender balance.

For your application, we require the following documents:
