Collegium de Lyon
France
The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) of the University of Lyon is pleased to announce a call for applications for Collegium fellowships, which will provide accommodation in its residence for one or two semesters from September 2027 to June 2028 (one-semester fellowships run from September to December/January and from February to June).
The Collegium fellowships include:
- all-inclusive housing (excluding household insurance) in our residence on the ENS de Lyon campus,
- assistance with administrative formalities,
- and academic integration into our interdisciplinary cohort of international fellows.
The fellowships are open to scholars of any discipline who hold a professorship or an equivalent research position in an academic institution outside of France and who will remain formally employed by their home institution for the 2027-2028 academic year.
Applicants must be officially sponsored by a research unit belonging to a member institution of the Université de Lyon. This unit will be the scientific co-host of the fellow throughout their stay at the Collegium. The Collegium staff can be contacted for assistance in identifying local research units in specific academic disciplines.
Eligible applications will be evaluated by the IAS's Scientific Advisory Board on the basis of the merits of the research project (strength, originality, interdisciplinary potential) and the final ranking will also take into account the disciplinary, gender, and geographic balance of the cohort of fellows to be assembled. Notification of acceptance will be sent to candidates in February 2027.
