Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellowship: InterAsian Contexts and Connections and Global Summer Semester Residency at the University of Göttingen

TRANSREGIONAL RESEARCH JUNIOR SCHOLAR FELLOWSHIP: The Social Science Research Council invites preliminary applications for its recently expanded and enhanced Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellowship, offering junior scholar grants competition and awarding approximately twenty grants of up to $45,000 to researchers in any world region.

In addition, working closely with the CETREN Transregional Research Network at the University of Göttingen in Germany, the SSRC offers a new category of fellowship in 2016—the SSRC Global Summer Semester Residency at the University of Göttingen (residency dates 15 April–15 July 2017). Note: This award is subject to final grant approval from the German Ministry of Education and Research.

Applications are due 19 September 2016.

Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellows will be selected through a two-part application process. Upon review of the preliminary applications submitted in September, the selection committee will invite select applicants to submit full narrative proposals in fall 2016. Fellowships will be awarded in spring 2017, and fellowship funds can be disbursed flexibly over the sixteen month period between 1 April 2017 and 1 August 2018. Global Summer Semester Residency fellowships will be awarded in fall 2016. The application processes, eligibility criteria, and award amounts vary across competitions. Applications and additional fellowship details, including former fellows’ research abstracts and answers to frequently asked questions, are available on the program Web site: http://www.ssrc.org/fellowships/transregional-research-fellowship.
