Description
The CIRN Intesa Sanpaolo Visiting Fellowship offers an outstanding early career postdoctoral scholar working on Italy the opportunity to spend one term at Cambridge developing research around a broad theme. Hosted by CRASSH, the fellowship is supported by the Cambridge Intesa Sanpaolo Fund for Italian, the Cambridge Italian Research Network (CIRN), and CRASSH. The advertised theme for 2026/27 is “Italian Ecologies”.
The fellow combines an individual research project with the conception and organisation of a one-day interdisciplinary, cross-period colloquium on the same theme. Chronologically wide-ranging colloquium proposals are encouraged, with organisational support from the CIRN committee and CRASSH administrators. The fellowship also encourages connections with Cambridge researchers and CIRN members.
