Go international

In close cooperation with partner institutes from Ukraine, Europe and the United States, the Wissenschaftskolleg has launched an initiative to support Ukrainian scholars in their effort to found an Institute for Advanced Study in Kyiv. Full-scale institutional activities in Ukraine will only be possible once the war is over, but in September 2023 the Virtual Ukraine Institute for Advanced Study (VUIAS) has taken up its activities and hosted a first interdisciplinary cohort of fellows.

The Center for Middle East Studies at Brown University seeks to appoint a scholar of Iranian Studies to a one-year post-doctoral research associate position, with a possibility of renewal for a second year. The position is open to candidates whose work explores topics related to modern or contemporary Iran, with a preference for work in the humanities or the humanistic social sciences (e.g., anthropology, sociology, history). We especially welcome candidates who thrive in an interdisciplinary environment and whose work is informed by comparative and global perspectives.

ACTIVATE investigates the social, environmental, and behavioural factors that influence children’s and youth’s mobility choices through a social-ecological lens. The project explores how built environments, mobility policies, interpersonal relationships (e.g., peers and parents), and personal attitudes shape decisions to walk, cycle, or use other active modes of travel across different life stages, from early childhood to adolescence. Will you join the team as a postdoctoral researcher?
