The CRGE offers non-stipendiary fellowships to international and local scholars conducting research in Kazakhstan or Central Asia in fields that are aligned with the DKU’s academic expertise: social sciences, engineering, or economics. By performing their scholarly work and engaging with DKU faculty members, the fellows contribute to the academic life of the university.
The DKU Fellows Programme is divided into two categories: Junior Fellows, who are enrolled in at least an MA programme, and Senior Fellows, who have completed a doctorate.
The possible duration of a DKU Fellow's stay is between two weeks and six months.
During their stay, CRGE Fellows will be provided a dedicated working space with computer, internet access and a printer. Research Fellows will also have full access to all DKU facilities.
CRGE Fellows are expected to actively participate during their stay in activities organized at DKU: social science colloquia, seminars, and DKU talks.
DKU Research Fellowships are unpaid.
Applicants should submit one complete copy of the following items:
• a cover letter indicating the proposed visit duration, all dates and the DKU faculty to which the research is thematically related: Economics, Engineering Economics, or World Politics
• a curriculum vitae (CV)
• a brief description and implementation plan for the proposed research project, including a statement explaining why DKU is the appropriate setting for the work
