CAS Munich | 3 Junior Fellowships "Universalism and Particularism in European Contemporary History"
The Center for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences (Kolleg-Forschungsgruppe, KFG) “Universalism and Particularism in European Contemporary History” at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) is seeking to appoint
3 Junior Fellowships (PostDocs)
with a research topic focusing on economy or human rights or religion/secularity in contemporary European history. Applications with other research topics, connected to the overall agenda of the KFG, are welcome. Future Calls for Junior Fellowships will be following every term.
The Center is seeking for three Junior Fellows for the summer term 2024 (April - September), with a preferred starting date on 1 April 2024.
Fellowships
The KFG fellowships are awarded for 3-6 months in the summer term 2024 (April–September). We offer a stipend of €2,400 and a rent subsidy of €1,800 on a monthly basis as well as travel costs to and from Munich at the beginning and end of the fellowship. Apart from engaging in their individual research, fellows are expected to actively participate in the KFG’s weekly colloquia and to contribute to the development of a methodological anthology on the main concepts of historical and political sciences connected with universalism and particularism in European contemporary history. The Junior Fellows are also expected to organize a two-day workshop in Munich in cooperation with the KFG team (funded by the Center).
In the summer term 2024, the KFG examines economic and human rights-related issues in the context of our project. During the research stay in Munich, Junior Fellows will have the opportunity to exchange with the KFG directors Martin Schulze Wessel, Kiran Patel, and Andreas Wirsching, Distinguished Fellows Marta Bucholc, Alexander Libman, and Angelika Nußberger, as well as the Senior Fellows (to be confirmed) Laurence Burgorgue-Larsen, Celia Donert, Caroline von Gall, Yoshiko Herrera, Sandrine Kott, and Marlene Laruelle.
Interdisciplinarity plays a significant role for the KFG’s research, so that applications are possible with topics contributing to any of the three research foci, or to the overall agenda of the KFG.
