Deadline- 30 October 2013
The German Science Foundation (DFG) is accepting applications for Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences (BAGSS) Fellowships/Scholarships Program. The goal of this program is to stimulate and guide cutting-edge doctoral research on some of the most crucial challenges modern knowledge-based societies are facing.
Thematic areas-
- Education, personal development and learning from early childhood to adulthood
- Education and social inequality across the entire life course
- Changes in human capital, labour markets and demographic structures and their impact on social inequality in modern societies
- Governance, institutional change and political behaviour
Eligibility & Criteria-
- Applications from highly qualified graduates from the fields of Sociology, Psychology, Educational Science, Political Science, Economics, Demography and Statistics are invited to apply. Qualified graduates of related subjects with a strong background in the empirical social sciences are also encouraged to apply. Candidates must hold a Master‘s degree (or equivalent) in one of the aforementioned subjects or be very close to completion. Successful applicants will be required to take up their residence in Bamberg, a city noted for its very high quality of life as well as great conditions for research and study.
- The Graduate School is committed to diversity, equal opportunities and the compatibility of family and career. It therefore explicitly encourages applications from women. As an international research institution, the School particularly welcomes applications from abroad. Applicants with disabilities possessing essentially equivalent qualifications will receive preferential consideration.
