Early-career fellows are free to pursue their individual projects as outlined in their application, and they receive support from the Collegium’s team. Projects carried out at the Collegium may convince both by their relevance and originality, spanning from blue-sky research to applied science, as well as from fine arts to artistic research. The Collegium also encourages small interdisciplinary teams of up to three people to apply with a joint project.

This three-year programme has now ended. No further applications can be accepted.

Applications are invited for RACE.ED Archival Research Fellowships from postdoctoral scholars working in any area of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, to examine specific special collections held at the University of Edinburgh which provide evidence for research which will be part of the Institute Project on Decoloniality 2021-2024.

The IHR's Senior Fellows are leading figures who play an important and active role in life of the Institute. Our Senior Fellows are leading figures who are recognised for their research or the promotion of history as a discipline. They play a prominent role in the Institute's intellectual life.

Senior fellowships are non-stipendiary and run for up to three years. Fellows will have a strong publication record in historical research or have played a significant role in the development of history in the public realm. 

Supported by the SSHRC Partnership Grant Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy, postdoctoral fellows will conduct research related to the retrieval and recognition of philosophical works by women and individuals from other marginalized groups in both the European and non-European traditions. The project is focused on the historical period from roughly the 9th century through to the early 20th century. The successful applicant(s) will also assist in activities aligned with the project.

HUMAN+ is an international and interdisciplinary fellowship programme led by the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute and ADAPT, the Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Digital Content Innovation at Trinity College Dublin, and supported by the prestigious European Commission (EC) Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND Action. It will select up to 18 experienced researchers for a 2-year post-doctoral programme and unique research and training space.
