Call for Applications for AxPo Visiting Scholars
Visiting Fellow Research Stays at AxPo, Sciences Po, Paris
Application deadline: March 16, 2026
Applications are being accepted now for a short research stay planned in the 2026-2027 academic year (only 1-2 spots available).
The AxPo Observatory of Market Society Polarization at Sciences Po is welcoming applications from senior academics for research stays of approximately 1-2 months at Sciences Po in the heart of Paris. Visitors will work in close cooperation with the affiliated research centers: the Center for European Studies and Comparative Politics (CEE), the Center for the Sociology of Organizations (CSO), the Center for Research on Social Inequalities (CRIS), the Center for Political Research (CEVIPOF), the Department of Economics, and the Medialab. We encourage researchers with projects in sociology, political science, economics, history or related fields to apply.
We are especially interested in research topics that align with AxPo’s research focus on socio-economic and socio-political polarization, exploring the challenges of such polarization for labor markets, workplaces, social cohesion, and political and economic institutions.
The visiting scholars program offers desk space and a stipend to help offset the short-term cost of living in Paris. Applicants must have their own additional funding to cover expenses.
Visiting fellows will present their work in the AxPo research seminar series and are expected to make themselves available for discussion with other researchers, including AxPo postdocs, visiting PhD students, and faculty.
PhD students may also apply to visit AxPo, but AxPo is unable to provide funding for visiting doctoral researchers.
Please submit in one single PDF document: 1) a cover letter; 2) CV; and 3) a short description (1-2 pages) of your research project by the deadline of March 16, 2026 via this Google form.
Applicants should specify the desired timeframe of their visit in the 2026-2027 academic year. (Another call will be opened later for the subsequent year, 2027-2028.)
The form will require you to connect via your Google Drive space. For management purposes, we strongly recommend applying via the Google Form. However, if you are unable to do that, you may exceptionally send your application to allison.rovny@sciencespo.fr.
Made possible with generous support from the AXA Research Fund.
