The UBC Centre for European Studies invites applications for the UBC Student Research Fellowship.
The fellowship supports undergraduate and graduate students pursuing research projects on any topic related to European studies. This year, the Centre for European Studies is looking to fund student projects supervised by faculty mentors. Applicants should coordinate with their chosen mentor prior to applying and arrange an advisory schedule during which the faculty member and student will meet to discuss the project and its progression. The mentor does not need to be a tenure-track faculty member, nor do they need to be affiliated with the student’s home department. Rather, students should choose a mentor with demonstrated expertise in an area relevant to their chosen research project.
Terms of Fellowship
Students selected for the fellowship will have access to the following:
- A stipend of $250.00
- A shared working station in the UBC Centre for European Studies for W2025 T2 (January-April 2026)
- An opportunity to share their research findings with the broader UBC community (public talk, publication on website, etc.)
Eligibility
The UBC Centre for European Studies Student Research Fellowship is available to full time registered undergraduate and graduate students at the UBC Vancouver campus. Applicants must be active students throughout the proposed project period.
How to Apply
A completed application consists of the following:
- Your contact information.
- A letter of intent outlining the title of the research project, its main argument, a timeline detailing the work that will be completed in residency at the centre, and why a fellowship would support the advancement of your project (500-1000 words in length).
- An academic CV/resume.
- A letter of support from the faculty mentor outlining a supervisory plan.
