Call: UvA Researchers working on Conflict and Violence who could use a student research assistant

Student Fellowships – Apply to have an RPA funded Student Fellow (RA) work on your research project. Starting September 2026

Could you use a bachelor-level student assistant for your research on conflict and violence? The Research Priority Area (RPA) Conflict and Society facilitates bachelor’s student research assistance on projects of FMG researchers. We offer fellowships of €1,000 per year per bachelor student research assistant, which corresponds to about 53 hours of work (€19 per hour) per student.

The RPA’s aim with the Student Fellowships is to bring students from all backgrounds into contact with academic research. To that end, we prefer to advertise positions to students through an open call and actively prioritise applicants from underrepresented groups in academia, such as first-generation-university students and students from minority backgrounds.

Interested in having an RPA funded RA on your project?

Please send us a short project description (around 100–150 words). Please highlight the tasks of the research assistant and any requirements for the RA. If applicable, also include a short statement on ethics.

The Student Fellowships are open to all bachelor students from the FMG, 2nd year and up. Project leaders decide whom to hire.

Apply before August 28^th, 2026, via this link: RPA Conflict & Society Student Fellowship Project
