Short term stipends for visiting research fellows – Centre for Baltic and Scandinavian Archaeology

The Centre for Baltic and Scandinavian Archaeology (ZBSA) within the Stiftung Schleswig-Holsteinische Landesmuseen Schloss Gottorf invites applications from external research fellows for short term research stays at the ZBSA in 2016. The stipends will cover costs for travel and accommodation in Schleswig as well as a small per diem allowance for a period of 1-3 months.

Eligible candidates must be qualified researchers holding an outstanding Masters or a PhD degree in a scientific field relevant for the ZBSA research curriculum. They must be working on projects that can be well integrated into the ZBSA research programme. Thus, project proposals will be evaluated with reference to the research focus of the ZBSA.

They will enjoy intensive scientific cooperation and full integration into the research activities of the ZBSA. The successful candidates will be expected to:

• conduct research based on studies of archaeological remains retrieved within the geographical working area of ZBSA, i.e. primarily the Baltic and Scandinavian region;

• participate in and contribute positively to the activities of the ZBSA, i.e. present their research in the internal research colloquia and submit a paper for the annual report.

The application may be written in English or German. It should include an outline of the proposed research project (max 5 pages inclding bibliography), a time schedule for the completion of your project, and curriculum vitae (including a list of publications).
