Meertens-NIAS Fellowship, 2025-25, Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Deadline: 18 March 2024.
The fellowship was set up in 2023 to advance scholarly work in the field of either language or culture in the Netherlands and Dutch language or culture in the world. NIAS and the Meertens Institute firmly believe that strengthening the internationalization of Dutch linguistics and ethnology, contributes to better science.
The Meertens-NIAS Fellowship provides the opportunity for international scholars (both from abroad and residing in the Netherlands) to come to Amsterdam, where they will be able to investigate new ideas, work on a challenging project, and get inspired by the international, interdisciplinary academic community of the KNAW.
The Meertens-NIAS Fellowship is granted for a period of 10 months (Sept 2024 – June 2025). Applicants should have obtained their PhD-degree.
The project proposal should relate to the broad thematic lines of research as explained in the document ‘The Netherlands in the world’, and more specifically should address one of five strategic themes:
- Intensifying quests for tradition and heritage
- Dynamics of religion and culture
- Food, body and wellbeing
- Affective (language) cultures
- Shifting relationships between people and nature
The research should include a topic related to the Netherlands, but that does not exclude projects abroad, as long as they pertain to the research programme ‘The Netherlands in the world’.
Other NIAS fellowships are also available; see here.
