A research stay of up to four months in Switzerland for postdoctoral researchers and professionals in the social sciences and humanities, with a stipend and travel covered. Apply by 12 October 2026.

The CEES Fellowship Program Spring 2027 is run by the Center for Eastern European Studies (CEES). It offers a research stay of up to four months in Switzerland for postdoctoral researchers and professionals working in the social sciences or humanities.

Who can apply

Applicants of all nationalities can apply, but be realistic about the focus. The centre studies Eastern Europe and the wider region around it, so your research has to deal with that region, and residents of the countries the centre covers receive preference. An applicant from Africa is eligible only with a project that fits this focus.

What it offers

Funding includes a stipend for living expenses, travel and administrative costs for the period of stay. The fellowship is held in person in Switzerland, not remotely.

Deadline

The deadline for applications is 12 October 2026.

Before you apply

All materials must be written in English and sent as a single PDF document. Prepare them early and make sure your proposal explains clearly how your work connects to Eastern Europe or the neighbouring areas the centre studies.
