Posted by historyofknowledge @lund on

The Visiting Fellowship Programme

We award short-term fellowships to international postdoctoral scholars to pursue research in the history of knowledge at the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK). We are particularly dedicated to support research with an ambition and a capacity to develop the history of knowledge.

We invite scholars to join us at LUCK during a period of one week between 31 March and 4 April, 2025. The scholars will have the opportunity to present their ongoing research and interact with the historians of knowledge at Lund. To be eligible to apply, a researcher should not currently be based at an academic institution in Sweden and should have obtained a doctoral degree no more than seven years before the deadline.

The fellowship covers accommodation in Lund during a period of maximum seven days (it does not cover travel expenses). The Visiting Fellowship Programme in the History of Knowledge is a part of Johan Östling’s Wallenberg Academy Fellowship and it funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
