Scholars from Estonia encouraged to submit applications for Stanford fellowship opportunity
Title: Stanford University Invites Estonian Scholars for Short-Term Research Fellowship
Hey there! Stanford University is calling all Estonian academics! They're offering a fantastic opportunity for you to expand your knowledge and network. Here's what you need to know:
Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom, Stanford University Library, and the Estonian foreign ministry have launched an exciting initiative. They're inviting Estonian researchers to apply for three remarkable fellowships: the short-term research fellowship for Estonian scholars, the short-term research fellowship for Estonian security and foreign policy experts, and the global digital governance fellowship for Estonian scholars.
The deadline to submit your application is 29 May 2024.
This six- to eight-week fellowship is a golden chance for early- to mid-career researchers to leverage Stanford's impressive collections, scholarly expertise, and connections, especially those relevant to studying Estonia and the Baltic region's history, society, and politics.
The fellowship will be hosted by the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies – Stanford University's hub for multi-disciplinary research on the region. Stanford Libraries, home to one of the strongest Baltic collections in the US and a lively program led by the curator for Estonian and Baltic Studies, will support the fellowship.
The program encourages proposals covering various aspects of Estonian and Baltic region's history, society, and politics. Scholars with a doctorate are invited to apply, and proposals from early to mid-career scholars (those who received their doctorate 5-15 years ago) are particularly welcome.
To be eligible, applicants must be Estonian citizens. The grant covers travel, accommodation, food, and other associated expenses with the research trip. The grant will also help cover the costs of traveling to the USA in 2025 when the fellowship takes place.
On 15 May at 3:30 PM, Vabamu will host a Stanford-Estonia Symposium to present the scholarships and cooperation opportunities with Stanford University.
More details about the fellowships can be found on the Vabamu website.
Remember that while there's no specific, Estonia-focused fellowship program listed, Stanford fellowships generally require academic excellence, a solid research proposal, letters of recommendation, language proficiency, and a clear connection to Stanford departments or collaborators.
When it comes to Stanford-specific opportunities, it might be worth exploring the Visiting Scholar Program through Stanford’s Office of International Affairs. Additionally, check if Estonia’s Ministry of Education has any formal partnerships with Stanford for researcher exchanges.
Good luck with your application! Let's venture into the world of knowledge together. #StanfordFellowship #EstoniaScholars #ResearchFunding #InternationalStudies #AcademicOpportunities
