Leuven Institute for Advanced Study (LIAS) invites applications for visiting junior fellows within the project ‘Societal Aspects of Climate Change (May 2022).

The fellowships are intended for advanced Ph.D. students, postdocs or junior faculty members (tenure track) of Una Europa Universities. Applicants will be able to participate in expert workshops, discussions and lectures as well as actively engage with the LIAS community. During their stay, all fellows will have an office at Holland College so the informal contacts can be enhanced at coffee and lunchbreaks. Within the LIAS project three focus-themes are highlighted round the stay of three senior fellows:

• ‘The coal phase out challenge’, with Prof. Robert Jeszke (The National Centre for Emissions Management KOBiZE, Poland)
• ‘Environmental behavior’ with Prof. Florian Kaiser (Universität Magdeburg, Germany)
• ‘Cities in times of climate change’ with Prof. Lindsay Bremner (Westminster University, UK)

LIAS covers all travel and hotel costs for junior fellows for a stay up to 14 days in Leuven with a maximum of € 1,000 for the total stay.
