Fellows-in-Residence Programme 2025-2026



15.10.2024 - 21.01.2025

The 7th call for applications for the Fellows-in-Residence programme opens on 15 October 2024 for the recruitment of a maximum of 6 researchers. Applications are submitted in two stages: a pre-submission (summary of the research project) before 3 December 2024 at 13:00 CET and a submission of the full application before 21 January 2025 at 13:00 CET. The Fellows-in-Residence programme, run by CY Advanced Studies (CY AS), is a residential programme for researchers from outside CY Initiative for a period of 4 months to 10 months. This programme aims to promote interdisciplinary exchanges, international collaborations and to strengthen the attractiveness of CY Initiative partners.
During the academic year 2025-2026, the Fellows-in-Residence program will host a maximum of 6 fellows-in-residence. All fields of research are eligible. Fellows are encouraged to develop their research programme in line with the research activity carried out by the CY Initiative laboratories.

Two types of fellowships will be offered:

  • Senior fellowships: for researchers who have obtained their PhD more than ten years ago, with a permanent position at a university or research institute. Senior fellowships are awarded for a period of 4 to 10 months. In case of long-term collaboration, it is possible to divide the duration of the fellowship into two or three stays over multiple academic years.
  • National fellowships at junior or senior level: for researchers and professors holding a permanent position at French higher education or research institutions. For a period of 6 months, CY AS offers the possibility to host researchers during a CRCT or délégation period by reimbursing teaching costs to their home institution. This scheme is open also to researchers from partner universities outside France.

A detailed description of the Fellows-in-Residence program and application documents are available from Tuesday 15 October 2024 via the : https://cy-initiative.smapply.io . A pre-submission of the summary of the research project should be done in English before Tuesday 3 December 2024 at 13:00 CET, the submission of the full application in English before Tuesday 21 January 2025 at 13:00 CET.
