Global Horizons Fellowship Programme
2025-26


Programme and Eligibility Criteria
The Global Horizons Residential Fellowship Programme is open to scholars engaged in research in the field of global governance. The purpose of the Global Horizons Programme is to advance multidisciplinary frontline research on global future governance issues, focusing on large-scale challenges. The programme aims to attract research fellows pursuing research on contemporary aspects of globalization and to promote a thematic collaboration across faculty lines. The programme revolves around three thematic areas: Global Knowledge Cultures and Regimes; Global Political Predicaments; and Global Futures. The programme is future-oriented in its ambition to contribute to the advancement of knowledge on contemporary forms of governance and their future implications.
The programme is funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (RJ). It offers one Young Scholar Fellowship and one Advanced Fellowship.
Early-career scholars applying for the Young Scholar Fellowship should have a promising track record of independent achievements at the post-doctoral level (at the most seven years from PhD degree), including significant publications, and be active in international fora.
For the Advanced Fellowship, the candidate should, at the time of application, have held a PhD (or equivalent doctoral degree) for at least seven years, have a track record of significant and original research achievements, and be active at the international forefront of his/her research field.
Candidates are not required to hold a university position at the time of application.
Remuneration
Fellows receive a monthly salary. The Collegium, however, does not match fellows’ salaries. The Collegium hopes that fellows will explore possibilities to apply for other outside support (such as sabbatical salaries and/or grants).
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.
Application Instructions and Deadline
Final decisions are taken by the Principal of the Collegium in consultation with a selection committee composed of Long-term Fellows. This means that all applications (including personal data) will be downloaded by members of the selection committee, and may also be sent to external referees, outside of the EU/EEA.
The application deadline for the academic year 2025 - 2026 has passed.
Applicants will be notified of the results through Varbi no later than 28 February 2025. If you get a new email address, please make sure to update it in your Varbi account.
