ELINOR OSTROM FELLOWSHIPS
for partners of Resident Group Fellows
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.
An Elinor Ostrom Fellowship includes funding for personnel expenses, travel expenses and accommodation in a joint ZiF flat with the partner. Up to two Elinor Ostrom Fellowships can be awarded per resident group, based on a competitive selection process. If you are interested, please submit an application including a CV and brief project description at least six months prior to the start of the Resident Group in which your partner is participating. Please send the documents in one PDF document to ZiF-proposals@uni-bielefeld.de.
For further information please contact Daniela Noll-Opitz and Nadine Sutmöller at ZiF-proposalsupport@uni-bielefeld.de.
The Fellowship bears the name of the American political scientist and economist Elinor Ostrom (1933-2012), who accompanied her husband Vincent to ZiF in 1987/88, when he was a fellow of the Research Group working on “Game Theory in the Behavioural Sciences”. According to Elinor, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in Economics, her research was decisively influenced during her time at ZiF.
