Deadline: June 1, 2026
Applications are open for the Barbro Klein Fellowship Programme 2027-2028. The Barbro Klein Residential Fellowship Programme intends to advance the study of cultural diversity in a global perspective. The fellowship is open to scholars from across disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, with an emphasis on research on cultural and social diversity, cultural heritage and creativity, societal structures and public resistance, and varieties of cultural expressions in local and global perspective.
Remuneration
- Fellows normally receive a monthly salary. However, the Collegium does not match fellows’ salaries at their home university/institute, and fellows are asked to try to obtain other resources for their support such as sabbatical salaries and/or grants.
- In most cases the Collegium will provide and pay for accommodation for fellows who do not live in the Stockholm–Uppsala region. When possible, the Collegium also tries to offer accommodation to fellows from Stockholm who are not able to commute.
Eligibility
- Candidates must have held a PhD (or equivalent doctoral degree) for at least three years. This year, applicants must hold a PhD awarded no later than 1 June, 2023.
- Candidates are not required to hold a current institutional affiliation.
- Candidates may apply for a single semester or for the full academic year:
- Autumn semester: 1 September 2027 – 17 December 2027
- Spring semester: 11 January 2028 – 16 June 2028
