Deadline: November 1, 2010

With the financial support of America for Bulgaria Foundation, the Centre for Advanced Study Sofia announces a Call for Applications for participation in its 2011/2012 Independent Fellowship Programme in the area of social sciences and humanities. CAS will provide five, 5-month fellowships for young Bulgarian researchers, and five, 5-month fellowships for established Bulgarian scholars. The Independent Fellowship Program will support independent research projects of young and established scholars in the area of social sciences and humanities. There will be no disciplinary, methodological or thematic restrictions applied to the project proposals. Selection will be based solely on the potential of the candidate and the quality of the project. CAS will award monthly stipends of €700 for young scholars and €1000 for established scholars.
The fellowship includes all taxes and social insurance fees. The fellows will have the opportunity to use working space at the CAS office, have access to electronic resources and become fully integrated in the regular research seminars and discussions taking place within the existing programmes of the Centre. The Program will be organized in two semesters: March 1 to July 31, 2011, and October 1, 2011 to February 29, 2012. Candidates should indicate their preference for one of the two semesters. The final distribution of approved fellows between the two semesters will be negotiated in view of the thematic coherence of the teams. We expect the approved candidates to be able to dedicate their time entirely to the proposed research.
