Purpose

The purpose of Monograph Fellowships is to provide one-year full-time fellowships for leading, visionary researchers within the humanities or social sciences, or within interdisciplinary fields that may branch into the natural sciences, undertaking a project aimed at producing a ground-breaking monograph.

Who?

The applicant must be a tenured associate professor, senior researcher, or professor with 5–20 years of prior tenure. 

The applicant must be employed at a level equivalent to at least 80 % effort at one or more Danish research institutions throughout the grant period.

Any periods of leave will be accepted as extensions of this time limit (parental leave, family care leave, illness, military service, etc.).

Monograph fellows cannot at the same time carry out teaching or administrative duties. Ongoing light administration and limited supervision of PhD students or master’s students that monograph fellows themselves wish to continue is however acceptable.

It is not possible to receive a monograph fellowship twice.

What?

The Carlsberg Foundation provides funding for the fellow’s full salary plus operating expenses of DKK 8,000 per month. 
 
The operating expenses are at the fellow’s disposal to cover conferences, study trips, etc. and cannot be used to cover overhead costs and administration fees.
