The BIGSSS Post-doc Program:

The BIGSSS post-doctoral competition is open to candidates who have received a doctorate in political science, sociology, psychology, law, economics or mass communication within the last three years, or who can be expected to finish prior to commencing their post-doc stay. Please note, however, that the earliest competition open for new applicants will take place starting December 2012. We will not admit any new post-doctoral fellows in the admissions round starting December 2011.

Successful applicants to the Post-doc program will pursue a topic in one of BIGSSS' three Thematic Fields.

All fellows are expected to choose Bremen as their place of residence.

BIGSSS offers 2 post-doc stipends of 1750 Euro/month, ranging from 6 to 24 months. It also provides funds for conducting, presenting and publishing research.
