Since 2018, the Max Weber Foundation – German Humanities Institutes Abroad (MWS) – awards travel grants once a year, with the support of the Fritz Thyssen Foundation. The grants will be awarded to scientists (doctoral and post-doctoral) from sinology or related subjects, whose professional qualification phase is concerned with Chinese history, language or culture in the broadest sense and for whose research a stay in China is indispensable.
Two postdoctoral appointments are offered for social scientists with excellent analytical and writing skills who have recently completed their PhD or will defend by the summer of 2021. The selected candidates will be invited to join the project “Sexual Minorities and Inequality of Opportunity”. The MINEQ project is funded by the European Research Council as a Starting Grant and will be led by Dr. Diederik Boertien at the Center for Demographic Studies (CED) in Barcelona.
