Postdoctoral Fellowship
2026-2028
The Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship beginning in fall 2026.
Applications are welcome in any area of international or comparative politics. While the fellowship is housed at the Skalny Center, applicants' research does not need to focus specifically on Poland or Central Europe. International applicants are welcome.
Fellows are expected to offer one course during each academic year.
Applicants who have not yet completed their PhD should describe their plans for completing the degree by the time the fellowship commences.
To apply, submit the following materials electronically to Anna Michas, Skalny Center Coordinator, at amichasb@ur.rochester.edu:
- Letter of application
- Curriculum vitae
- Research project description (3-5 pages)
- One-page sketch of a proposed course
- One or more writing samples
- Three letters of recommendation (should be sent directly by recommenders to the same email address)
In the heading of your application letter, please use the following address: Postdoctoral Fellowship, Prof. Randall Stone, Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies, University of Rochester, Harkness Hall 101, Rochester, New York 14627-0147. All materials should be submitted electronically to Anna Michas at the email above—no hard copies needed.
