The initiative Ukrainian Research in Switzerland (URIS) is calling for applications for two URIS fellowships, one for the 2017 autumn semester and one for the 2018 spring semester, at the University of Basel (Switzerland).

The internationally oriented fellowship programme is open to postdoctoral and senior scholars in the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences whose research has the potential to make a substantial contribution to a better understanding of the history, society, politics and culture of Ukraine.

The URIS fellowship enables the recipient to spend six months researching at the University of Basel (August 2017–January 2018 or February–July 2018) and will be awarded on the basis of excellence criteria. For each semester, the initiative is looking for an internationally recognised researcher who is prepared to be involved in the network of Swiss Ukraine research and to offer a Ukraine-related course at the University of Basel during their stay in Switzerland. The recipient is obliged to reside in Basel for the duration of the fellowship. The awarding of both fellowships will be decided by an academic advisory board.
