IMéRA Core Fellowships 2025-6, IMéRA Institute for Advanced Study at Aix-Marseille University, France. Deadline: 21 October 2024.
In collaboration with its partners, Imera is offering 9 residency positions for periods of 5 or 10 months, dedicated to scientists and/or artists. These positions are distributed across four programs developed within Iméra: “Arts &Sciences: Undisciplined Knowledge,” “Interdisciplinary Explorations,” “Mediterranean,” and”Necessary Utopias.”
Prerequisites common to all available fellowships and that must be taken into account before the eligibility criteria specific to each fellowship include:
-
An active knowledge of French and/or English (written and spoken) is essential. Linguistic skills in both languages are desirable due to the bilingual context of Iméra.
-
Candidates commit to participating in the scheduled activities with other residents and the Iméra scientific team. The Community Building Seminar (CBS) is one of the central activities, held each week (all day Thursday). The time investment amounts to one day per week in total.
-
In the interest of research internationalization, just as the local scientific and cultural community should benefit from the methodological traditions brought by the residents, the latter should also benefit from the numerous expertise present on site, where most disciplines are represented. For these reasons, candidates must be based abroad and submit a project that maximizes the resources available on-site (around a hundred laboratories, various archives, a vibrant cultural and associative life, etc.). It is highly recommended to identify key local resources related to the research theme beforehand, mention them in the project, and outline the envisioned modes of collaboration.
