The Fellowships are a joint initiative of the Center for the Human Past (CHP) and the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS).

Deadline for applications: 2 June 2025.

The fellowship aims to attract researchers interested in the human past, combining methods and materials from different disciplines. The primary focus is research on three major migration events: Indo-European, Bantu, and Austronesian expansions. We invite scholars interested in exploring archaeological evidence, linguistic changes, or genetic factors associated with these archaeological and linguistic expansions.

You can find the whole announcement on the SCAS website:
