About this position
The Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (KNIR) offers funded research stays in Rome for students and early-career researchers whose projects benefit from access to the city’s libraries, archives, museums, and broader scholarly environment. The stay is designed to support work connected to Italian culture, history, and archaeology, with accommodation inside the institute and access to its academic life.
Selected participants stay in KNIR for either 7 or 10 weeks depending on the category of application. The institute provides a room within the residence, shared kitchen and living room facilities, 24/7 access to the KNIR library, and participation in the institute’s academic events. The announcement covers support for Master’s researchers as well as PhD candidates, applicants preparing a PhD proposal, and young researchers preparing a postdoc application.
KNIR is run by the University of Groningen and forms part of a Dutch academic network that connects applicants to six partner universities in the Netherlands. The scholarship is intended for research projects that clearly benefit from an extended stay in Rome and from the institute’s scholarly setting.
