2 Postdoctoral Fellowships "History of Science" (MPIWG Berlin)
MPI for the History of Science, Berlin, 01.09.2015-31.08.2018
Bewerbungsschluss: 30.01.2015
The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin,
Department II (Director: Lorraine Daston), announces two three-year
Postdoctoral Fellowships,
starting date September 1, 2015.
Outstanding scholars no more than three years past the award of their
doctorates are invited to apply.
The fellowships will be awarded in conjunction with the research
projects of the Department:
http://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/en/research/projects/department2
Candidates should hold a doctorate in the history of science or a
related field at the time the fellowship begins; the quality and
relevance of the project rather than the discipline in which the
doctoral degree was awarded will be decisive in the award of
fellowships.
The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) is an
international and interdisciplinary research institute
(http://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/en/index.html). It is expected that
candidates will be able to present their own work and discuss that of
others fluently in English. Applications may however be submitted in
German, English, or French. The fellowship includes a research fund of
1000 EUR annually, as well as the opportunity to organize a workshop.
Candidates of all nationalities are welcome to apply. The Max Planck
Society is committed to employing disabled individuals and encourages
them to apply. Postdoctoral fellows are expected to participate in the
research activities of the Institute. Fellowships are endowed with a
monthly stipend between 2.100 EUR and 2.500 EUR (fellows from abroad) or
between 1.468 EUR and 1.621 EUR (fellows from Germany). Alternatively to
a fellowship, fellows may opt for a contract TVöD E14 in the German
system.
Candidates are requested to send a curriculum vitae, publication list,
certification of receipt of doctoral degree, research prospectus
(maximum 750 words), and one sample text (e.g. a journal article, book
chapter, dissertation excerpt; maximum 10,000 words). These materials
must be submitted as one single PDF-document. Candidates should also
arrange for two reference letters (one of which should be from the
candidate's doctoral advisor) to be sent separately.
All application materials (including reference letters) must be
submitted no later than
January 30, 2015 (23:58 CET)
to: https://s-lotus.gwdg.de/mpg/mbwg/pd_dep2_2014.nsf/application
Please note that only electronic submissions via this link will be
accepted.

administrative questions concerning the position and the Institute,
please contact Claudia Paaß (paass@mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de), Head of
