In 2022, one NUI Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Humanities was offered to NUI graduates in all branches of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences.  

The NUI Post-Doctoral Fellowships are funded by a special NUI Fund.

The NUI Post-Doctoral Fellowships’ main purpose is to encourage and support doctoral graduates of proven academic excellence to advance their scholarly research. It is expected that the research undertaken will result in a substantial contribution to knowledge, worthy of publication, and contribute to the learning culture in the constituent institutions.
