The Center for Comparative Migration Studies (Centrul pentru Studiul Comparat al Migrației – CSCM) warmly welcomes proposals for our 2024 fellowship in residence programme. We are seeking submissions from students and scholars conducting inspiring research on the topics on which CSCM has conducted research.
Successful applicants will spend from two weeks (minimum) to two months (maximum) residence period at the Center for Comparative Migration Studies (Centrul pentru Studiul Comparat al Migrației – CSCM) at the Faculty of Political, Administrative and Communication Sciences, Babeş-Bolyai University in Cluj, Romania, to develop their research, prepare publications, write grant proposals, or other research-related endeavours. During the residence, fellows will participate in feedback sessions with the other upcoming fellows and expert discussants. The residency scheme covers accommodation, office space, meal deals at the FSPAC canteen, access to library resources and datasets (both qualitative and quantitative) we collected as part of various research projects, and access to migrant communities and relevant stakeholders in the field. The residency programme is open to scholars with a PhD at all career stages as well as to master students and PhD candidates.
For the 2024 residencies we are particularly – though by no means exclusively – interested in scholars conducting research on the Ukrainian refugee flow who will be interested in exploring the Multi Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) 2023 database.
To apply, please send an email at contact@migrationcenter.ro and anatolie.cosciug@fspac.ro with a one-page description of your research and CV.
