Spring 2015 Fellowships: Call for Applications
The Käte Hamburger Kolleg / Centre for Global Cooperation Research is pleased to
announce its call for applications for fellowships roughly beginning in April 2015.
Fellows will join the Centre for a period of six to twelve months. The fellowships
provide a working space in fully equipped offices and a competitive stipend
commensurate with applicants’ level of professional experience. In order to
maximize their engagement with the community at the Centre, during their
fellowship terms fellows are expected to routinely spend time in and conduct
much of their work from Duisburg, in most cases requiring residency in Duisburg or
the Rhein-Ruhr region. They should show interest in contributing to the Centre’s
overall line of research and enthusiastically embrace its inter- and multidisciplinary
research environment. A successfully completed PhD is required for eligibility for a
fellowship.
The Käte Hamburger Kolleg / Centre for Global Cooperation Research is an
independent research institution of the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany,
sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The four research
units of the Centre focus on (1) The (Im)Possibility of Cooperation, (2) Global
Cultural Conflicts and Transcultural Cooperation, (3) Global Governance Revisited,
and (4) Paradoxes and Perspectives of Democratisation.
For this call, the Centre is especially interested in the following topics:
• Global diasporas and regional movements
• Experimental analyses of international negotiations
• Micro-politics of negotiation processes
• Democracy and post-democracy in a global age
• Dynamics of legal pluralities
Applications (in English) should contain a cover letter, your CV, a concise research
proposal (3-5 pages) plus one relevant publication. Please indicate your preferred
period of stay. Please submit your application electronically using our website:
http://www.gcr21.org/fellows/how-to-become-a-fellow/application-form/. The
web portal will open on 26 May 2014.
The deadline for application is the 2nd
of July 2014. We particularly encourage
female researchers and scholars from the Global South to apply. The next call for
applications will be issued in October 2014.
