About the Program
The Postdoctoral Program “Social Sciences and Humanities in a Post-Crisis Period” is offered in two modules.
- Hybrid module, including online activities plus Research Visit at one of the Host Universities
- Fully online module
This program is designed to advance the academic and professional careers of Ph.D. holders through collaboration with experienced research advisers and participation in multidisciplinary and international research groups together with other post-doctoral fellows. The language of the program is either English or Spanish.
Every selected fellow will deal with a specific societal challenge through attending lectures, courses, and scientific conferences while leaving time for guided research.
The ESI postdoctoral program facilitates the process of academic mobility. Each candidate would be part of a research visit in Spain, Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Georgia, India, Ecuador, Hungary, or China at one of the partner Universities. During the research visit, the candidate will participate in the ESI annual conference, working group meetings, workshops and may deliver guest lectures at the host University.
In times full of challenges with the post-COVID-19 pandemic, the world, more than ever, needs further academic advancement. The selected fellows will work on selected topics in the area of social sciences and humanities (Pedagogy, economics, education, law, sociology, philosophy, psychology, history, geography, political science, health care, tourism, music, anthropology, and related fields and their subdomains).
