KADOC has since 1995 welcomed a variety of research fellows, mostly promising postdoctoral researchers that wished to benefit from the research infrastructure that the Center has to offer. KADOC harbours indeed all kinds of interesting archives and documentary materials for international research. But the Center also offers logistic support in order to optimize the research activities of these scholars in Leuven/Belgium.

Financial support and/or research grants can be offered by a.o. the K.U.Leuven or the Flemish Fund for Scientific Research (FWO-Vlaanderen). The criteria for admission are kept on a high level. Candidates for a KADOC Research Fellowship are expected to have the potential to build an independent research career and/or to be strong candidates for permanent posts in universities at the end of their fellowships. The length of the tenure can vary from three months up to one year.

Scholars that are interested in a research fellow tenure at KADOC-K.U.Leuven, can find basic information on the K.U.Leuven website.
