BMBF/ZOiS Scholarships for Ukrainian Scholars

The Centre for East European and International Studies (ZOiS) in Berlin is awarding different scholarships for the year 2024-2025.

We are seeking to fill the positions (m/f/div) of three Ukraine-based fellows

within the project Ukraine Research Network@ZOiS (UNET), funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

In response to a strong public desire to understand Ukraine, ZOiS is awarding up to three fellowships to Ukrainian scholars. The goal of the project Ukraine Research Network@ZOiS (UNET) is to stimulate research on Ukraine, to communicate that research for better decision-making, and to strengthen horizontal connections in the community of Ukrainian scholars. We invite scholars to join our rigorous and supportive academic community and use ZOiS’s communication platforms to spread the word about Ukraine and its recent research trends to journalists, academics, policymakers and politicians.

Theme 1: Gender and War in Ukraine

Theme 2: Ukrainian Research Infrastructure and Human Capital: The Impact of War

How is the fellowship organised? The fellows are invited to work on their research projects in cooperation with the ZOiS team and contribute to discussions with different stakeholders

Who is eligible and what are the financial packages?

We are looking for Ukrainian scholars who have or had an active university, research institute, think tank or NGO affiliation in Ukraine. The fellowships are awarded for a period of up to 12 months. Typically, the fellowship will start on 1 September 2024.

Ukraine-based fellows (12 months, 800 Euro + research and travel budget) will reside and work out of Ukraine and travel to Berlin occasionally to participate in network meetings and other events (if the circumstances permit). The Ukraine-based scholars must reside in Ukraine at the time of their fellowship.
