The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin (MPIWG)
offers
four six-month predoctoral fellowships
for outstanding students in the final stage of completing their
dissertations. Dissertation topics should be related to an ongoing
research project (see website below) in Department II (Director: Prof.
Lorraine Daston).
The fellowships are open to doctoral candidates of all nationalities
and disciplines, except those who have already received three years of
Max Planck Society predoctoral fellowship funding. Department II holds
a bimonthly colloquium in English, and candidates are expected to be
able to present and discuss their work in that language. Applications,
however, may be submitted in German, French or English.
Two fellowships run from 1 August 2010 to 31 January 2011, and two
others from 1 February to 31 July 2011.
Applicants should submit the following materials:
1. Curriculum Vitae and list of publications
2. Brief (maximum 750 words) description of dissertation, in which its
relevance to an ongoing MPIWG-Department II research project is made
clear.
3. A letter of recommendation from the dissertation advisor endorsing
the candidate and confirming that the dissertation will with high
probability be completed within the term of the six-month fellowship.
This letter may be sent separately.
Applications should be sent by 8 March 2010 to:
Max-Planck-Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte
Verwaltung – Predoc II
Boltzmanstr. 22
14195 Berlin
Germany
Electronic submission is also possible: paass@mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de
Project descriptions are to be found under
http://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/en/research/projects/department2
Questions concerning stipends and the MPIWG should be addressed to the
MPIWG Research Coordinator, Jochen Schneider (jsr@mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de).
Contact in Department II: Fernando Vidal, vidal@mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de
Applications from women are especially welcomed. The Max Planck
Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and
encourages them to apply. Candidates may expect a decision by 2 April
2010.
