Call for Applications: RCC Alumni Fellowships in Ecological Justice
07.07.2025
The Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society (RCC) invites applications for fellowships for members of the RCC Society of Fellows (former fellows and visiting scholars) to return to the RCC for a four-month fellowship, from April to July 2026, or a two-month fellowship, from June to July 2026. Please understand that these dates are nonnegotiable. The fellowship gives RCC alumni the opportunity to work on a research project in the broad field of ecological justice.
Successful alumni will receive a stipend of EUR 7,000 for a two-month fellowship and EUR 13,000 for a four-month fellowship (EUR 3,000 per month + EUR 1,000 to cover travel expenses). Successful applicants are expected to live in Munich for the duration of their fellowship and to engage actively in the academic and social life of the RCC.
The deadline for applications is 31 August 2025.
