10 theme-based fellowships open for application at AIAS

Five fellowships are available within the themes of ‘Labour Market Transformations and Inequality' and 'Democracy and Digital Citizenship.' An AIAS-PIREAU and an AIAS-SHAPE fellowship address societal challenges in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment.

Following a successful first round of theme-based fellowships, AIAS is pleased to announce a second call for applications for the theme-based PIREAU and SHAPE fellowships in collaboration with and within the thematic scopes of two interdisciplinary research centres at Aarhus University: 'PIREAU - Platform for Inequality Research at Aarhus University' and 'SHAPE - Research Center for Shaping Digital Citizenship.'

Collaboration across academic fields

The theme-based fellowships are individual fellowship projects, but fellows are expected to work as part of an interdisciplinary group of researchers. The ten new fellows will have their daily office at AIAS, and within each of the two themes ‘Labour market transformations and inequality' and 'Democracy and Digital Citizenship' five fellows will work together to address and explore the theme from an interdisciplinary and collaborative perspective.

Besides the anticipated thematic synergies of the two groups, the two thematic groups of researchers will become an active part of the AIAS community, benefitting from the interdisciplinary exchanges, the joint training activities and international environment that AIAS, but also PIREAU and SHAPE offer.

The ten fellowships include a salary according to academic level, and are available for talented researchers of all nationalities, research fields and academic seniority. All applicants must hold a PhD. The ten theme-based fellows will commence at the same time on 1 September 2024, and fellowships have a duration of 10 months, until 30 June 2025.

A unique environment

AIAS provides a unique research environment within Aarhus University. As a ‘physical’ house outside the faculty and department-based boundaries of the ordinary university structure, AIAS offers researchers the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary research, to broaden their research profile and to collaborate with an inspiring international and multidisciplinary community.
