Research Fellowships on the Foundations of Value and Values

THE NEW INSTITUTE aims to attract outstanding scholarly talent from across the globe. More specifically, TNI seeks applications by committed early- to mid-career researchers who have a proven track record of acknowledged work in a relevant research area (via substantial publications).

Ideally, candidates have already engaged with networks beyond academia and used creative formats to communicate their research results to achieve public impact. Most importantly, they must identify with the Institute’s mission and aspiration to contribute to social, economic, and ecological transformation.

Accordingly, we are looking for candidates who have an ability to bring transformative ideas to TNI’s work and who are willing to engage with the various groups mentioned above, striving to advance scholarly knowledge and to turn research results into pathways towards practical solutions. Applicants must be highly willing to work in interdisciplinary and trans-sectoral settings.
