Fellowships at the Center for Global Cooperation Research
The K�te Hamburger Kolleg / Centre for Global Cooperation Research invites applications for fellowships roughly beginning in October 2015.
Fellows will join the Center for a period of six to twelve months. Fellowships include a working space in fully equipped offices and a competitive stipend commensurate with the applicant�s level of professional experience. Fellows are expected to contribute to the Center�s overall line of research and embrace its inter- and multidisciplinary environment. Regular attendance at the Center is thus required, implying residency in Duisburg or the Rhine-Ruhr region in most cases.
Fellowships are mainly offered in the fields of the humanities and social sciences (including social psychology), but may also be granted to scholars in economics, law and the natural sciences. In the latter case, the proposed research project must not require laboratory facilities and should relate to the humanities and social sciences, in particular questions of global cooperation.
The application deadline is January 4th, 2015.
