The Elinor Ostrom Fellowship is an additional offer by the Center for Interdisciplinary Research, designed in the spirit of Dual Career support. It is aimed at partners of fellows participating in a resident group who spend at least 4 months on-site at the Center. The individual fellowships enable partners with a strong academic profile, starting from postdoc level, to live on the ZiF campus at the same time as the fellow, to work on their own research projects and, if desired, to cooperate with colleagues at Bielefeld University. The fellowships are not thematically bound.
