The MPIfG conducts basic research on the governance of modern societies. It aims to develop an empirically based theory of the social and political foundations of modern economies by investigating the interrelation between social, economic, and political action.
The MPIfG is seeking Visiting Researchers (f/m/d) for the Visiting Researchers Program. The program is intended for researchers from the fields of economic sociology and comparative and international political economy and offers stays generally ranging from two to twelve months. Applications are welcome from professors, postdoctoral and doctoral researchers based either in Germany or abroad. The intended research project should relate to the MPIfG's research program and ongoing projects at the Institute.
Visiting researchers need to bring their own funding. Applicants are asked to provide a funding plan for their stay. If your application is successful, you will receive a letter of invitation that you can use to approach funding institutions. Visiting researchers have office space at the Institute and full access to its service infrastructure.
Successful candidates are chosen on the basis of scholarly excellence and a research proposal (up to three pages) outlining a project to be pursued at the MPIfG.
Applications can be submitted in English or German through the online application system by October 31, 2024 (10:00 am UTC+1) for summer semester 2025.
