Özyeğin University Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

The Özyeğin Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is designed to attract exceptional early-career researchers who seek to advance their scholarly independence and contribute to a dynamic and forward-looking academic ecosystem. The program provides an enabling environment for creative, high-impact research that transcends disciplinary boundaries and addresses today’s most pressing scientific and societal challenges. Fellows are encouraged to bring bold ideas, engage in interdisciplinary collaboration, and develop new approaches that can generate tangible outcomes across diverse fields.

A key dimension of the program is Özyeğin University’s strong institutional focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its transformative potential across all disciplines. Whether a candidate’s background lies in engineering, business, law, social sciences, design, or applied sciences, proposals that incorporate or explore AI-related methodologies, data-driven approaches, or AI’s societal, ethical, or industrial implications are particularly encouraged. This emphasis reflects the University’s commitment to fostering an AI-aware research culture that connects fundamental inquiry with real-world impact.

Fellows will be fully integrated into Özyeğin University’s vibrant research ecosystem, gaining access to advanced facilities, interdisciplinary networks, and mentorship opportunities from leading academics. In addition to pursuing their own research agenda, fellows are expected to actively engage in collaborative initiatives and contribute to the University’s ongoing efforts to build globally competitive research capacity.
