Visiting Fellowships Programme
The Department of Human Sciences and Education of the University of Milano Bicocca welcomes applications from both early-career (i.e., within 6 years of the award of a PhD) and established scholars from around the world for non-stipendiary visiting fellowships, to be held in 2025.
Visiting fellows will pursue research projects that fall within the remit of the Department, and they will be expected to actively engage with the Department’s intellectual and social life. Visiting fellows will be provided with office space, they will have access to computing and printing facilities and to the University library.
The fellowships are typically for a period of 1 to 3 months, though longer visits may be arranged. We welcome applications from scholars who already have their own funding in place, for the Department will not provide financial assistance; the fellowships will only contribute to cover travel expenses (return flight in economy class or train to/from Milan) and lodging expenses up to 3000 euro (Junior Fellowships) or 5000 euro (Senior Fellowships).
The fellowships can be taken up through 7 January 2025 to 22 December 2025. Please note that June, July and September are examinations months with no teaching activities, and that a summer break takes place throughout August.
