Deadline: 16-Jan-23
Applications are now open for the Józef Tischner Fellowship program.
The Józef Tischner Fellowships are open to all academic disciplines in the humanities and social sciences; a thematic relation to one of the Institute’s research fields is, however, strongly encouraged. The Józef Tischner Junior Fellows will be invited to spend a four-month term between September 2023 and June 2024 at the IWM to pursue their research projects.
Benefits
- Postdoctoral candidates––i.e., those who have defended their PhD by the date of the fellowship application deadline––will receive a stipend of EUR 3,000 per month; candidates currently pursuing their doctoral degree will receive a stipend of EUR 2,500 per month to cover accommodation, living expenses, travel, health insurance and any incidental costs related to their stay in Vienna.
- In addition, the IWM provides Visiting Fellows with office space, including internet access, in-house research and administrative facilities, as well as other services free of charge. The Visiting Fellows will join the scholarly community and participate in the activities of the Institute. Generally, fellowships start on the first day of the month and end on the last day of the month.
Eligibility Criteria
- Candidates for the Józef Tischner Junior Visiting Fellowships
- must be Polish citizens, Polish-American scholars or permanently reside in Poland
- must be enrolled in a doctoral program in the humanities or social sciences or have obtained a PhD in the same fields in the past four years

Selection
- The finalists will be selected by a jury of experts. Applicants will be notified of the jury’s decision in March/April 2023. The jury is not required to publicly justify its decisions, nor to provide applicants individual feedback on their applications.
