Call for Applications for International Visiting Research Fellow Programme in
Regensburg for 2022/2023  As part of the project “A small but fertile field:
strengthening Southeast European Studies in Regensburg” (seeFField), funded by
the Volkswagen Foundation

The project “A small but fertile field: strengthening Southeast European
Studies in Regensburg” (seeFField) was launched in July 2022 with the goal of
strengthening Southeast European Studies in Regensburg. The aim is to
integrate and critically examine various forms of knowledge production and
knowledge transfer related to South-Eastern Europe in academic as well as
non-academic fields. The project collaborates with the Leibniz Institute for
East and Southeast European Studies (IOS) and other existing and emerging Area
Studies initiatives at the University of Regensburg (UR), a cluster that is
currently at the leading edge of Area Studies in Germany. It is supported by
Volkswagen Foundation as a part of the programme "Weltwissen – Strukturelle
Stärkung Kleiner Fächer" ("Global Knowledge - Structural Strengthening of
Small Disciplines").
Located at the intersection of competing spheres of influence, South-Eastern
Europe has multiple ‘exits’ or ‘inroads’ into alternative spaces of
identification and allegiance. Our current research stresses these
transnational entanglements: the region offers an excellent example of the
various global and transregional connections that may compete with (or
threaten) the declared European affiliation. Hence, we understand an ‘area’
not as a geographical container, but as a nodal point of trans-local
connections which can be traced from concrete sites to spaces ‘elsewhere’,
through multiple patterns and scales of connectivity. Therefore, we follow a
multi-scalar and multidisciplinary approach with a strong emphasis on
empirical research in analysing different social, cultural, historical, and
linguistic developments in the region and the synergies between them. 
We are pleased to announce a call for applications for our 2022/2023
International Visiting Research Fellow Programme. We particularly encourage
early career scholars from South-Eastern Europe, historians, anthropologists,
linguists, and scholars of cognate disciplines, to apply. Fellows are expected
to conduct research that resonates with the project’s intellectual profile,
particularly developing comparative and trans-regional research perspectives.

Fellows will be offered the opportunity to spend one month in Regensburg,
using the IOS library, consulting colleagues at UR and IOS, attending talks
and seminars, and presenting their research in our research seminar. We also
encourage and support fellows to apply for long-term stays, for example
through the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation or the Marie Curie Sklodowska
Programme of the EU. The one-month fellowship amounts to 4.000,00 EUR (which
includes costs of accommodation and living). We will award a total of three
fellowships for the academic year 2022/2023.

Please submit your application until 16 September 2022, via the email:
fellow.see at ur.de. The application documents must include:
- a brief description of your research in German or English (maximum three
pages)
- a detailed academic Curriculum Vitae, also naming two referees
- copies of no more than three relevant articles (published or unpublished)
- a statement on the preferred starting date of your stay (November 2022-June
2023). Please note that in the lecture-free period (13 February – 14 April
2023), our staff in Regensburg whom you may want to consult may be away on
research trips.
