The Centre for Cultural and Historical Research of Socialism (CKPIS) at Juraj Dobrila University of Pula welcomes visiting scholars for stays ranging from one week to a full semester. Since its foundation in 2012, the Centre has hosted numerous guests for research, lectures, round tables and discussions. Now, after relocating to a new address, we are launching a formal call in the hope of encouraging more colleagues to join us and become part of our visiting fellows’ group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are pleased to host scholars from all disciplines related to the Centre\u2019s research focus, including the humanities and social sciences, particularly history, ethnology, anthropology, cultural studies, literary studies and musicology. The thematic scope covers the period between 1945 and 1990 in Croatia, Yugoslavia and globally, as well as nineteenth- and early twentieth-century socialist and communist ideas and post-socialist transitions. We welcome applications from doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers, early-career and senior scholars. Additionally, we encourage BA and MA students interested in our research fields to apply, as they can also participate in courses offered by the study programmes in history, literature and other related disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visiting fellows are expected to contribute to the Centre\u2019s activities during their stay in Pula. This includes participating in meetings, workshops, conferences and other events, delivering a lecture, and contributing to the CKPIS Newsletter by presenting their research. There is also the possibility of publishing in the journal History in Flux. Arrangements will be made on a case-by-case basis, depending on the length of stay and work experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We offer workspace at the new University campus (Aldo Negri Street 6, Pula), access to the Centre\u2019s library and the University Library, a friendly working environment, and opportunities for long-term collaboration in research, publications and other projects. While we can arrange discounts at the University restaurants and assist with booking short-term accommodation at the student dorm, we regret that we are unable to provide or cover the cost of accommodation, travel expenses or financial support during the stay in Pula. We encourage applicants to seek funding through national or international scholarships and mobility grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the time being, this call will be repeated annually, with no fixed deadlines. However, due to limited workspace, we can host up to two scholars at a time for longer stays. We therefore encourage applicants to apply early in their mobility planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Application requirements: a CV, a one-page research plan, and a one-page motivation letter. Students and doctoral candidates must also provide a recommendation letter. For further information and applications, please contact us at ckpis@unipu.hr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
