Visiting Scholars Multidisciplinary Research

IAST aims to be the home of academic freedom and experimentation, where top-flight researchers are able to explore new territory in a cross-disciplinary direction and interact with visitors in a lively environment.

The Research Program of the IAST is organized around 5 broad themes:

• Individual motives, Actions, Innovation and Well Being
• Individual and Social Networks
• Society, Globalization and Public Policy
• The Nation State and Global Public Goods
• Governance and Markets

We welcome contributions within these themes from researchers within a large range of disciplines, in particular from anthropology, biology, history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology and sociology, though motivated applications from outside these disciplines will be given full consideration.

Eligible applicants

The IAST invites scholars from a large applicant pool for visits ranging from 1 month to 1 year. The group is interdisciplinary and international, and scholars are expected to pursue their own research. A completed doctorate or equivalent is required of all applicants.
