22.01.2025 Call for Applications - MECAM Fellowships 2025-2026

The Merian Centre for Advanced Studies in the Maghreb (MECAM) in Tunis, which is coordinated by the Philipps-Universität Marburg, invites applications for nine fellowships for postdoctoral and advanced researchers in the humanities and social sciences for the period from September 2025 to April 2026. Under the overall theme “Imagining Futures: Dealing with Disparity” MECAM is dedicated to a research agenda framed by five interrelated ‘Interdisciplinary Research Fields’ (IRFs): Aesthetics & Cultural Practice, Inequality & Mobility, Memory & Justice, Resources & Sustainability, and Identities & Beliefs. Applications should be related to the main theme and at least one of the IRFs. MECAM has been established at the Université de Tunis/Tunisia in October 2020 to strengthen internationalization, free academic research and cooperation in the Humanities and Social Sciences in, with and across the Maghreb, and other regions of the world. The call for applications is open to researchers from all countries, including Tunisia. It can be found here: https://mecam.tn/call-for-applications-mecam-fellowships-2025-2026/?lang=en
