We are now accepting applications for fellowships beginning in the 2021-2022 academic year. The deadline is 02 April 2021. For more information please download the application packet here. Email queries should be directed to teaching.fellows@cerge-ei.cz. Throughout the post-communist world, societies desperately need better understanding of fundamental economic principles. CERGE-EI Teaching Fellows’ Career Integration Fellowships enable talented young people with Western PhDs to return to their home countries and assume full-time university positions. Back in their home country, these passionate teachers play a key role in creating support for both free minds and free markets. Career Integration Fellowships provide crucial salary supplements, modern pedagogical training, access to electronic literature and data, and a support network of like-minded scholars. The fellowship also provides the opportunity to organize research stays at CERGE-EI. The fellowship carries an award of $7200* per year and is guaranteed to be provided for 3 years. If the program receives sufficient funding in the future, fellowships may be renewed. The fellowship is provided over and above the salary paid by the university where the fellow will teach.
