Located in the Botanic Garden in Uppsala, the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS) is a national institute for advanced study. The collections of Carolina Rediviva Library and other scientific facilities at Uppsala University are situated nearby.
For the academic year 2016-17 the Collegium offers residential fellowships for senior scholars. The fellowships afford scholars the opportunity to concentrate on their own research interests. Fellows are expected to be in residence. The application may be for the entire academic year or alternatively for one academic semester.
Candidates may come from any discipline within the humanities and social sciences and neighbouring scholarly fields. At the time of application, the candidate must have held a PhD for at least ten years.
The holder of the fellowship receives a monthly stipend or salary. Accommodation for Fellows who do not live in the Stockholm-Uppsala region is arranged by the Collegium and all Fellows have their own fully-equipped office at the Collegium.
