Jean Monnet Fellowship in the Social Sciences & Humanities for Postdoctoral Researchers 2027-2028

Deadline: October 26, 2026

Applications are open for the Jean Monnet Fellowship in the Social Sciences & Humanities for Postdoctoral Researchers 2027-2028. The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies offers one-year Jean Monnet Fellowships to scholars who have obtained their doctorate more than five years prior to the start of the fellowship, i.e. 1 September 2027 for the academic year 2027-2028.

The Fellowship programme is open to post-docs, tenure-track academics and those wishing to spend their sabbatical at the Centre. The Centre offers up to 20 fellowships a year: they invite you to become part of a lively and creative academic community!

Benefits

The basic grant is € 2,850 per month. Successful applicants who receive other grants or salaries must disclose this to the EUI. The amount of the Fellowship will be fixed at a lower rate (minimum €2,100 per month) depending on the amount of the additional income (upon production of relevant supporting documents).

A household allowance of up to € 310 per month is paid to Fellows with a partner if the partner lives with them in Florence and on condition that the partner’s income is less than € 2,000 per month. The sum of income and allowance cannot exceed € 2,000 per month (i.e. if the income is more than € 1,690, the allowance will be paid only to top up to € 2,000). There is a dependants allowance of € 210 per month for each dependent child if they live with the fellow in Florence.

All fellows are entitled to 650 EUR for eligible research expenses, such as attendance at conferences.

Fellows (but not their families) receive reimbursement for the incoming trip from their place of origin to Florence, and for the outgoing trip to their destination at the end of their fellowship.

Eligibility

The fellowships are open to candidates who have obtained their doctorate more than 5 years prior to the start of the fellowship on 1 September (to apply for 2027-28, the Ph.D. should have been awarded before 1 September 2022).

Candidates of all nationalities are eligible for the Jean Monnet Fellowships.
