NLSIU opens applications for research fellowship programmes; check details here

The National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in Bengaluru has opened applications for research fellowship programs, accepting submissions for three distinct fellowship programs. These opportunities are available to researchers at various career stages and aim to support research in law, social sciences, public policy, and related disciplines. Applications for these fellowships must be submitted by October 30, before 5 pm, via a Google Form on the university's official website.

The graduate research fellowship is open to candidates with a graduate degree in law or a postgraduate degree in social sciences, public policy, or allied fields. For the postdoctoral fellowship, applicants must have received a PhD in these fields within the past three years and not hold a postdoctoral position at another institution.

The university research fellowship requires candidates to hold a recognized PhD, possess at least ten years of teaching or professional experience, and demonstrate a notable publication record.

Remuneration for the fellowships varies: the Graduate Research Fellowship offers Rs 50,000 per month, the Postdoctoral Fellowship provides Rs 1,20,000 per month, and the University Research Fellowship pays Rs 2,00,000 per month. The final monthly compensation is contingent upon the individual's educational background, qualifications, relevant experience, and overall suitability for the fellowship program.

Shortlisted candidates are expected to be present on the NLSIU campus in Bengaluru throughout the fellowship term, though the university may consider exceptions based on individual circumstances.

For comprehensive eligibility details, application forms, and fellowship-specific information, interested candidates should visit the official NLSIU website linked in the announcement.
