Call for applications: Junior Fellows Forum Basiliense

The University of Basel invites fellows for 3-6 months visits during 2024. Fellows are expected to participate in events and scientific exchange (i.e. regular colloquium) during their stay. Applications with a focus on the theme "freedom" in any of the disciplines represented at the University of Basel from all over the world are welcome.

To respond to the accelerated social change in the world, the University of Basel, Switzerland's oldest university, has founded a new research centre and platform for interdisciplinary dialogue: the Forum Basiliense. The forum aims to foster exchange and collaboration between scholars of the humanities and social sciences, life sciences and the natural sciences. The question of “freedom” is at the centre of the initial phase of the forum and the intellectual focus for the first group of international fellows.

The University of Basel invites fellows for 3-6 months visits during 2024, preferably during the spring or the autumn term. Fellows are expected to participate in events and scientific exchange (i.e. regular
colloquium) during their stay.

Applicants hold an excellent PhD or a junior professorship in any of the disciplines represented at the University of Basel. Fellowships are awarded based on scientific merit, the quality of the application and how the application speaks to the theme of "freedom".

Application deadline: 31. July 2023
