Fernand Braudel – IFER Fellowships
The program 2011-2015 is finished. A new project has been submitted to the European Commission. If it is selected, a new call for applications will be launched by summer 2016.
The Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme and its partners offer postdoctoral fellowships to researchers in the social and human sciences for periods of nine months as part of its “Fernand Braudel-IFER” (International Fellowships for Experienced Researchers) programme. This programme is supported by the European Commision (Action Marie Curie – COFUND – 7th PCRD).
The call is closed [September 2014]
The Fernand Braudel-IFER programme breaks down into two sections
1. The Fernand Braudel-IFER incoming programme is designed for residencies in France (for researchers who belong to a foreign research centre).
This programme targets applicants from all countries wishing to undertake a research stay in France. Applicants design their own research project and choose themselves their host laboratory.
See Call for applications Fernand Braudel Ifer Fellowships incoming September 2014. Applications should be submitted exclusively online, through the online application form.
2. The Fernand Braudel-IFER outgoing programme is designed for research stays in another European country (for researchers who belong to a French research centre).
This programme targets researchers residing in France who would like to benefit from a research stay in another European country (EU Member State or associate to the FP7 programme). Since 2010, the Clemens Heller fellowships (Outgoing to Germany) have been integrated, while keeping their own identity, in the new programme “Fernand Braudel-IFER”. Applicants design their own research project and choose themselves their host laboratory in Germany.
