The KielSCN Fellowship Program
Designing the Future of Science Communication Together
Join the KielSCN as a Fellow and shape the future of science communication with us!
The KielSCN is an interdisciplinary research center. In the interplay of educational research, information design and innovative health research, we develop new approaches for the communication of scientific content. Thereby, the focus is on the visualization of information and its perception on the part of the users.
The Core of our Collaborative Approach
We understand the importance of diverse perspectives and external expertise to drive innovation. The KielSCN Fellowship Program is therefore at the core of our collaborative approach. To position ourselves as diversely as possible, we offer two different tracks: Creative Fellowships and Research Fellowships.
Creative Fellowships
These fellowships are for creative minds who want to bring their unique talents to science communication. Develop novel projects at KielSCN that merge art, design and technology with scientific approaches. In doing so, you will work closely with our team as a Creative Fellow. You will have access to Kiel’s cutting-edge research and state-of-the-art resources to bring your ideas to life.
Research Fellowships
Our Research Fellowships offer scientists the opportunity to work on temporary research projects in our multidisciplinary environment. Benefit from our many years of experience in quantitative research as well as from our extensive network of experts. Together, we explore the most effective ways to communicate complex scientific information through engaging visualizations.
Promoting Creativity, Innovation and Knowledge Exchange
As a KielSCN Fellow, you will be part of our team. You will work with like-minded individuals who share your passion for advancing science communication. Share your ideas, participate in workshops, and engage in interdisciplinary discussions. Together, we create an environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and knowledge exchange.
Applications for Fellowships in 2025
Are you ready to shape the future of science communication? Then we invite you to be part of our journey to position ourselves as a player in this field across Germany, but also internationally. Apply for your KielSCN Fellowship 2025 now!
