2 Junior Fellow positions
The EAHN invites applications for 2 Junior Fellow positions from engaged doctoral fellows interested in combining architectural history with digital communication, graphic culture, and dissemination of research and activities.

The EAHN is committed to introducing Junior Fellows to the EAHN Council and to fostering exchange between Junior Fellows and senior members of the network.

We offer an honorarium to selected candidates.
