The Obermann Center for Advanced Studies at the University of Iowa now offers flexible fellowships for international researchers and artists to develop collaborations and pursue independent work at our beautiful Iowa City campus. Obermann International Fellowships are funded by the University of Iowa's Obermann Center for Advanced Studies with generous additional support from International Programs and the Center for Social Science Innovation.

Applications for Spring 2025 fellowships were due November 15, 2024. 
Applications for Fall 2025 fellowships are due February 15, 2025.

Eligibility

Up to eight international fellowships are granted per academic year.

Applicants must be active researchers at an accredited institution of higher learning outside of the United States or independent researchers/artists with a track record of excellence based outside of the U.S. Their area of research must have a direct equivalent at the University of Iowa. 

Fellows are chosen for their ability to expose the campus to new and relevant research agendas or regions, and the likelihood that the fellowship will result in lasting scholarly contributions. Applications will be reviewed by the Obermann Center staff, who will make recommendations for acceptance to the Advisory Board. 

Qualified candidates of any nationality are invited to apply; they should have a good enough command of English to be able to partake in UI academic activities. Researchers are expected to reside in the Iowa City area during the term of their fellowship and participate in the Obermann Center’s activities. 

The duration of the stay is flexible: fellowships can last a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of one UI academic semester. The start and end dates of the fellowship must fall within a single Fall or Spring UI semester. Fall 2025 fellowships must take place between August 25 and December 12, 2025.

For opening and closing dates of UI semesters, please see this calendar. 

Apply by 2/15/25

The STARS@UNIPD 2025 call for proposals is open from 20 December 2024 until 21 March 2025, at 1 p.m. (Italian time zone).

The STARS@UNIPD 2025 call for proposals funds research projects of 30 months, whose focus may range in the 28 scientific research areas of Unipd, corresponding to the three ERC research domains:
- PE: Physical Sciences and Engineering
- LS: Life Sciences
- SH: Social Sciences and Humanities. 

The call offers three types of funding with a "bottom-up" approach, without predefined thematic areas. It is open to Principal Investigators (PIs) of any age and nationality who wish to carry out their research activities at a Department of the University of Padua. Applicants must demonstrate the innovative nature, ambition, and feasibility of the proposed scientific project.

GRANT TYPES

STARS Starting Grant (STARS-StG): for PIs – also external to UNIPD – who are beginning to establish their own research team and/or to start their own independent research activity. PIs must have defended their first Doctoral degree within a maximum of 5 years prior to 1 January 2025 (cut-off dates: 01/01/2020 - 31/12/2024 included).

STARS Consolidator Grant (STARS-CoG): for PIs, who are already conducting research at the University of Padua and are consolidating their own research team and/or their own independent research.
