The John Paul II Post-Doctoral Fellowship Programme
The 2025 JPII Cohort Project:
The Church’s Contribution to Integral Human Development
Faculty of Social Sciences (FASS) in collaboration with the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences (PASS) are offering five John Paul II Post-doc Scholarships from October 2025 to June 2026 in Rome.
This programme is designed to harness the power of data literacy in the Church’s social mission, in line with Catholic Social Teaching (CST).
Post-doc scholars will jointly conduct a major study that empirically examines how the Church’s promotion of integral human development strengthens civil society. Quantitative analyses (prima- rily regressions) will assess the impact on society of the Church’s work in education, health, social services, and pastoral outreach. This joint research will be presented at two academic events at the Angelicum and later at PASS.
The partnership between PASS and FASS offers scholars a rare opportunity to work alongside top experts in the fields of Catholic Social Teaching, social sciences, and data-driven analysis. The John Paul II Post-Doc Programme will focus on using data to understand and communicate the Church’s role in addressing contemporary social problems, with special attention to marginalized populations.
Deadline for submission of applications: 16 April 2025
