The Institute of Philosophy of the CAS regularly applies for CAS fellowships supporting postdoctoral researchers in the Programme to Support Prospective Human Resources – post PhD candidates. The competition is open to all institutes of the Academy of Sciences and takes place twice a year – in spring and autumn. At IP, the next deadline for submission of proposals in the 26th round of the competition is set for 30 August 2025.
The programme is intended for holders of PhD or its equivalent until up to two years since receiving the degree (i. e. degree received 31 August 2023 or later; time spent on maternity/parental leave is not included in the two-year period; in case of a long-term research stay in other than the candidate's country of residence the two-year period is extended up to four years). Successful applicants receive a two-year fellowship to work on a project whose topic is directly related to the focus of the relevant CAS institute and they become members of one of its scientific teams.
Potential candidates may contact the head of one of the scientific departments at IP to consult the research topic of their interest (proposals for internal competition at IP are submitted by the Head of Department).
