Fellowships for Visiting Postdoctoral Researchers at University of Bamberg

The Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences invites applications from postdoctoral researchers who wish to complete a research stay at the Graduate School of two to six months in 2017 or 2018.

We are a multidisciplinary Graduate School funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) as part of the German Excellence Initiative. We seek to stimulate and guide cutting-edge research on some of the most crucial challenges modern knowledge-based societies are facing.

Visiting postdoctoral fellows will have the opportunity to work on their own research projects which should fit into the academic profile of the Graduate School. In the application, it must be mentioned on which project you want to work and what milestones should be reached during your stay at the Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences. The fellows will be incorporated into relevant research groups and will participate in regular research seminars. The overall aim should be to enable the visiting fellows and the school’s current doctoral researchers as well as professors to establish research networks and build the basis of possible future collaborations, or to finalize joint research projects. Furthermore, the visiting postdoctoral fellows support the school’s advanced doctoral researcher in consolidating academic networks and facilitating the transition to postdoctoral employment.

Closing date: 15-03-2017
