Postdoctoral bridge grants
The European International Studies Association (EISA) Postdoctoral Bridge Grants support recently graduated or final-year PhD students who have not secured an academic contract or fellowship.
They are designed to help bridge the gap between a doctorate and a postdoctoral funded/salaried position.
The scheme is particularly aimed at those who require additional time and funds to finalise potential publications or incubate postdoctoral funding proposals in conjunction with the completion of their doctoral projects.
Dissertation fieldwork support grant
Many PhD candidates writing their dissertations in International Studies use fieldwork data. However, due to various reasons (scholarship type, institutional budgetary cuts), they lack the finances for fieldwork travel.
EISA Dissertation Fieldwork Support Grant aims to support this crucial part of PhD research through the provision of a grant in the form of funds aimed at covering travel and accommodation expenses.
