Description

One American scholar will be selected for the Fulbright-Schuman Postdoctoral Award at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy, during the 2027-2028 academic year. The scholar selected for this award is expected to conduct their own research through an affiliation with one of the EUI Departments (Economics, History and Civilization, Law, Political and Social Sciences) or the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, which is devoted to interdisciplinary, comparative, and policy research on the major issues of the European integration process. If suitable, the candidate may choose to affiliate with the Max Weber Programme, currently the largest international postdoctoral training program in the social sciences. Although the main host institution for this award should be EUI, applicants to this award can propose research in other EU Member States in addition to their research in Italy. The award is open to early career academics who have been working in the capacity of a teacher or scholar for no more than seven years. PhD (or other terminal degree) is required. An invitation letter is preferred. Applicants are highly encouraged to provide a letter of invitation from the European University Institute in order to ensure that their proposal would be accepted by EUI and fit into one of the subject areas taught at the Institute. Scholars may apply for this program without a letter of invitation, but they run the risk of disqualification if EUI says the research project either does not fit into its curriculum or is not supported by department faculty. All applicants must submit two recommendation letters. Letters should be from those who know the applicant and the applicant's work well. Please visit the award's website or contact the Council for International Exchange of Scholars for more information.
