Collaborative Fellowships

The Collaborative Visiting Fellowship scheme for 2017-18 is open to applicants who hold an academic position or are PhD Students. Collaborative visiting positions come with a stipend of NOK 20 000 per month for up to 3 months to support travel and accommodation costs during the course of the fellowship. Visiting Fellows are expected to contribute to the intellectual environment of ConceptLab, cf. http://www.hf.uio.no/ifikk/english/research/projects/cl/.

Non-stipendiary Fellowships

Non-stipendiary Fellows are visitors to ConceptLab who spend a significant period of time at the Institute (usually between 3 and 6 months) on their own research. It is also possible for visitors to come for shorter periods, or ask for an extension after 6 months (after review). Visiting Fellows are provided with office space, access to computing and printing facilities and library access. Fellows are expected to make a contribution to ConceptLab’s programme of events during their stay. Fellows are usually members of other academic departments or postdoctoral researchers. Doctoral students interested in working in close collaboration with ConceptLab can also apply.
