The International Senior Fellowship Programme addresses excellent international researchers in the social sciences and humanities. It offers them the opportunity to pursue a research project collaborating with fellow scientists of the University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr) during their six-months fellowship in Essen.

Through the Senior Fellowship Programme, the College for Social Sciences and Humanities of the Research Alliance Ruhr seeks to promote excellence in research in the fields of social sciences and humanities within the UA Ruhr and foster international cooperation. Up to 20 Senior Fellowships per year are awarded to researchers who are active members of a foreign university or research institution and feature an internationally recognised, outstanding research profile. In spring and autumn 2024 respectively, ten fellows may start their residencies in Essen.

Distinguishing features of the new programme are its openness and collaborative approach: The visiting scholars have the liberty of pursuing independent research projects which they jointly work on with tandem partners from the UA Ruhr. Complementary to the junior fellowship programme of the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (KWI) in Essen, the programme addresses highly experienced researchers from the social sciences and humanities.

The call for applications is open until 27 August 2023, the selection will take place in September.
