Call for Applications: Human Past SCAS Fellowships 2027-28
The Human Past SCAS Residential Fellowship Programme is an initiative by the Center for the Human Past, administered by the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS). Deadline for applications is 1 June 2026.
The fellowships are designed to foster a collaborative environment where early-stage (postdoctoral-level) and established scholars can converge across disciplines such as archaeology, population genetics, and historical linguistics. These fields collectively explore the shared history of the world’s populations over the past 10,000 years, a period marked by the advent of agrarian food production, population growth and linguistic changes, and the emergence of early civilisations. Research on three major migration events: Indo-European, Bantu, and Austronesian expansions, is the primary focus of the Centre.
We invite both junior (postdoctoral-level) and senior scholars interested in exploring archaeological evidence, linguistic changes, or genetic factors associated with these archaeological and linguistic expansions.
