2013
The
BIGSSS-HWK Visiting Fellowship is an international researcher mobility program
offering a 6-month research stay at two renowned academic institutions in the
social sciences: The Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (HWK), one of Germanys leading institutes for advanced study
across disciplines, is a foundation of the federal states of Bremen
and Lower Saxony and the city of Delmenhorst University
of Bremen and Jacobs University
The program
supports research by outstanding scholars in the social sciences (e.g.
Sociology, Political Science, Psychology and Demography). Fellows benefit from
exceptional intellectual and research conditions. They enjoy both the
stimulating environment of a multi-disciplinary and international community of
first-rate scholars and a graduate school with an outstanding faculty,
innovative teaching concepts and an international body of excellent Ph.D.
students and Postdocs.
We expect our
visiting fellows to have a presence at both institutes, to participate in
regular activities of the HWK and to engage in doctoral education/supervision
at BIGSSS including teaching a minimum
of one course
and taking part in the regular Ph.D.-colloquium. The BIGSSS-HWK Visiting
Fellowship offers financial support and accommodation.
The
BIGSSS-HWK Visiting Fellowship welcomes applications worldwide from promising
postdoctoral scholars to leading senior researchers. The integration of most
major social-science disciplines into one school is a key asset of BIGSSS, its
umbrella theme is “Changing Patterns of Social and Political Integration“.
Applicants should have research and expertise in one or more of BIGSSS' three
thematic fields:
·
Global Governance and Regional Integration

Welfare State, Inequality and Quality of Life
