The International Research Center "Work and Human Lifecycle in Global History" at Humboldt University in Berlin, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) invites scholars to apply for 10 to 15 international research fellowships (senior scholars and postdoctoral candidates) for the 2014-2015 academic year. Applications are due in Berlin on 31 August 2013.
Candidates
We welcome candidates especially from the disciplines of history, anthropology, law, sociology, political science, and area studies. Applicants should be at the postdoctoral level or senior scholars. We would like the proposed projects to employ a historical and transregional perspective. Also, please do not only focus on work / labour, but also on life course. Possible topic areas are, among others, the household, loss of work, the relationship between work and non-work, as well as free and unfree labour. We welcome proposals about all regions of the world and especially those that look at comparisons, conflicts, relations between different regions. A global history perspective is not required; keeping an open mind to such ideas, however, is highly desirable.
The fellowships will begin on 1 October 2014 and end on 31 July 2015.
Shorter fellowship terms will be possible.
Fellows will receive a monthly stipend, which can be individually negotiated, and are
obliged to work at the research center in Berlin. A fully equipped office will be provided
as well as organizational help for visa, housing, etc. During the fellowship, we also
encourage fellows to introduce their work to wider audiences within Berlin’s scientific
community.
