BIGSSS‐HWK Visiting Fellowship
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, being one of Germanys leading institutes for
advanced study, is a foundation of the
federal states of Bremen and Lower Saxony and the city of Delmenhorst.
The Bremen International
Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS) is an inter‐university
institute of the University of Bremen and
Jacobs University Bremen supported by the German Excellence Initiative.
The program supports excellent research of outstanding scholars. 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 as well as an international body of bright
Ph.D. postdoctoral students.
We expect our visiting fellows 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 actively part in
the regular research colloquium. Presence at both institutes is
expected. The BIGSSS‐HWK Visiting
Fellowship offers financial support, accommodation and partial
reimbursement of travel expenses.
The BIGSSS‐HWK Visiting Fellowship welcomes applications worldwide from
promising postdoctoral
scholars as well as from leading senior researchers. The integration of
most major social‐science
disciplines into one school is a key asset of BIGSSS, its umbrella theme
