IMéRA Core Fellowships 2025-6, IMéRA Institute for Advanced Study at Aix-Marseille University, France. Deadline: 20 October 2025.

For 2026-27 academic year, Iméra, the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) of Aix Marseille Université, is opening six residency places for academic researchers, each lasting 5 or 10 months. Of these, the Fulbright / Iméra Chair in Migration Studies and the Friche La Belle de Mai / Iméra residency are the subject of separate calls, which will close in the second half of September 2025. All these residencies are divided into four programmes (“Arts & sciences: undisciplined knowledge”, “Interdisciplinary explorations”, “Mediterranean” and “Necessary utopias”).

An active knowledge of French and/or English (written and spoken) is essential. Basic language skills in both languages are desirable because of Iméra’s bilingual environment: for example, the weekly seminars (see point below) are held in both languages. Successful candidates who are not fluent in French are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the language during their stay, if not beforehand.

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, applicants must not have lived in France for more than 12 months in the 3 years preceding the deadline for this call for applications 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.

Candidates must 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 (variable duration, minimum 3 hours or equivalent to one day).

• 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.
