Ugandan researchers are eligible because the programme accepts researchers of any nationality who are based at an African institution. Applicants must hold a doctorate, have at least eight years of postdoctoral experience, satisfy the programme\'s international academic-experience requirement and propose a humanities or social-sciences project addressing sustainable governance.
FRIAS invites established researchers based at African institutions to spend six months conducting independent humanities or social-sciences research on sustainable governance. Fellows join the interdisciplinary community and research infrastructure of the University of Freiburg.
Benefits
Selected fellows receive a tailored fellowship contract or other compensation according to their circumstances, a research-cost contribution, mobility support and reimbursement of inbound and outbound travel. FRIAS also provides office space, university research services and personalised assistance with accommodation, childcare and visa applications.
Requirements
Applicants must prepare the required research proposal, curriculum vitae, publication record, doctoral documentation and other materials specified in the application manual. A cooperation letter from an appropriate University of Freiburg academic partner is required.
How to apply
Identify an appropriate University of Freiburg collaborator, obtain the required cooperation letter and prepare all research and academic documentation. Submit the complete application through the official FRIAS system by 13:00 Central European Time on 2026-09-18.
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
