Go international

A NIAS Theme Group is an (international) team of two to four researchers who collaborate on a specific research topic for five consecutive months. While each researcher pursues their own individual project, they also contribute to the team’s collective research efforts. Theme Groups are established either through an application process or may be initiated by the NIAS director.

The Fellowship call (for the 2027–2028 academic year) is open from 15 January 2026 until 16 March 2026, 12:00 noon CET.

Trinity College invites applications for Senior Postdoctoral Researchers (SPRs) from outstanding early career academics, who have already begun postdoctoral research. In most cases, SPRs will have, or be about to take up, funded research positions in Cambridge, such as Royal Society University Research Fellowships or British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships.

The George Washington University Institute for Korean Studies (GWIKS) is now accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the 2023-24 academic year. This fellowship is open to scholars in the social sciences focusing on a Korea-related research topic.

The CIFAR Global Scholars Program offers early-career researchers the opportunity to develop and lead high-risk, high-reward interdisciplinary research, expand their professional networks and receive focused leadership training in their pivotal first years as independent investigators. These experiences accelerate the rise of research leaders who are positioned to drive new discoveries and open new fields of inquiry.
