VITRI Fellow Program 2019 for Transdisciplinary Research of Violence, Trauma and Justice, Czech Republic

Publish Date: Mar 24, 2019

Deadline: Apr 30, 2019

VITRI Fellowships

One of the primary aims of VITRI is to inspire collaboration within divergent disciplines and encourage emerging academics and advanced doctoral students to tackle herein investigated questions from medical and historical to political and legal perspectives. Members of VITRI focuse on four major areas of research:

  • Violence from a Historical Perspective

  • Transitional Justice

  • Violence and Trauma from a Mental Health Perspective

  • Security Community

Each year, VITRI invites postdoctoral researchers to apply for short (one or two-month) fellowships. The deadline for applications is on April 30 each year.

Fellows are expected to work on their individual research project relevant to the VITRI profile. Further, they need to take active part in the VITRI fall workshop (scheduled typically for the last week of November) and acknowledge the support of VITRI and Charles University in all resulting publications.
