Each year IAST invites applications for post-doctoral Research Fellowships, which offer candidates an opportunity to devote themselves full time to their research at the start of their careers. Fellows are provided with office space, computer facilities and a contract for two years, renewable for a third year.

We welcome applications from researchers in the human evolutionary behavioral sciences. We seek candidates with a strong research background in their own discipline, but open to engage in interdisciplinary scientific activities. Successful applicants will have to demonstrate an interest in, and a commitment to, at least one of the other disciplines of IAST.

Eligible applicants for 2024 must be active researchers who have or will have completed their PhD after December 2020 and before September 2024 (if between Oct - Dec 2024, the start of the fellowship will be postponed accordingly). Motivated applications will be considered from candidates whose PhDs were completed in 2020 or earlier; if applicable, please explain your reasons in your cover letter.
