Description
The WZB-ISSC Global Fellowship Programme enables an
outstanding early career social scientist from a developing country to spend
four to six months in 2016 in the exciting and stimulating environment of an
exceptional social science research organization in the heart of Germany.
Besides allowing the Fellow to focus entirely on a dedicated
research project, he/she is invited to participate in the intellectual life at
the WZB. The Fellow will also become a member of the network of early career
scientists the ISSC is building via its World Social Science Fellows programme.
Eligibility
The WZB-ISSC Global Fellowship Programme invites
applications for one early career scientist (postdoctoral researcher with no
more than 5 years’ work experience after their PhD or scientists without a PhD
but with an equivalent level of research experience and output) residing and
working in a developing country to conduct research for up to six months in
2016 at the WZB. The research project of the Fellow should focus on global
societal problems with particular relevance to developing country contexts.
Fellowship
The Fellow will receive:
A grant for up to six months at a level commensurate with a
German postdoctoral researcher;
A contribution to local accommodation (up to EUR 500 per
month);
Economy roundtrip ticket to and from Berlin;
Workspace (equipped with PC, Internet and email access,
