Short description

“Social Sciences and Humanities in a Post Crisis Period”

  • Challenges affecting virtual teaching and learning process
  • Regional and global economic development in post-pandemic period
  • Art and society in times of pandemic
  • Artificial intelligence and law and politics

This program is designed to advance the academic and professional careers of PhD holders through collaboration with experienced research advisers and participation in multidisciplinary and international research groups together with other post-doctoral fellows.
The language of the program is English and Spanish.

Every selected fellow will deal with a specific societal challenge through attending lectures, courses and scientific conferences while leaving time for guided research.
The ESI postdoctoral program facilitates the process of academic mobility. Each candidate would be part of a research visit in Spain, Italy or Latvia at one of the partners Universities. During the research visit, the candidate will participate at the ESI annual conference, working group meetings, workshops and may deliver guest lectures at the host University.

In times full of challenges with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the world, more than ever, needs further academic advancement. The selected fellows will work on selected topics in the area of social sciences and humanities (Pedagogy, economics, education, law, sociology, philosophy, psychology, history, geography, political science, Tourism, Music, Anthropology and related fields and their subdomains).

The ESI postdoctoral training program accepts applications from PhD holders regardless of their nationality or experience at academia or outside. Potential candidates should provide:
