The Antwerp Urban Studies Institute is currently looking for two full-time visiting scholars for a short-term research stay (in-person) at the University of Antwerp in 2025/2026. The selected scholars will be offered the opportunity to conduct their research at the USI and to participate in the institute’s research activities. They will be supported to (1) communicate their research plans and results to the interdisciplinary research community of the USI, (2) receive feedback from a select interdisciplinary group of scholars and (3) continue a dialogue with a broad range of disciplinary approaches.
Because USI is a network of researchers belonging to different research groups and departments, the visiting scholars are hosted within one of our member research groups. USI will assure optimal collaboration with other relevant research groups and disciplines, depending on the research plan of the visiting scholar. To that end, candidates are encouraged to explain which interdisciplinary collaborations they aim to explore during their stay.
We are flexible in when we can host visiting scholars for 1-3 months between autumn 2025 and summer 2026. We welcome and encourage applications from scholars from any country and nationality.
You can apply for this vacancy through the University of Antwerp’s online job application platform up to and including 30 May 2025 (by midnight CEST).
