The international research center „IGK Work and
Human Lifecycle in Global History“ invites scholars to apply for one of its
international research fellowships for the 2014/2015 academic year.
The center welcomes candidates especially from the
disciplines of history, anthropology, law, sociology, political science, and
area studies. Applicants should be at the postdoctoral level or senior
scholars. We would like the proposed projects to employ a historical and
transregional perspective. Also, please do not only focus on work /labour, but
also on life course. Possible topic areas are, among others, the household, loss
of work, the relationship between work and non-work, as well as free and unfree
labour.
We welcome proposals about all regions of the
world and especially those that look at comparisons, conflicts, relations
between different regions. A global history perspective is not required;
keeping an open mind to such ideas, however, is highly desirable. The
fellowships will begin on 1 October 2014 and end on 31 July 2015. Shorter
fellowship terms will be possible.
Fellows will receive a monthly stipend, which can
be individually negotiated, and are obliged to work at the research center in
Berlin. A fully equipped office will be provided as well as organizational help
for visa, housing, etc. During the fellowship, we also encourage fellows to
introduce their work to wider audiences within Berlin’s scientific community.
Application deadline: August 31, 2013.
