Application deadline
Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Cluster of Excellence “The Politics of Inequality”
(fulltime, Salary Scale E 13 TV-L)
Reference Number 2022/291. The Cluster invites applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships for a duration of 12 to 24 months, during which fellows will pursue individual research projects. The earliest starting date is July 2023. We explicitly encourage candidates from Non-OECD member countries to apply. The University of Konstanz is one of eleven Universities of Excellence in Germany. Since 2007 it has been successful in the German Excellence Initiative and its follow-up programme, the Excellence Strategy. The Cluster of Excellence “The Politics of Inequality” involves researchers from political science, sociology, economics, linguistics, psychology, law and education studies. The Cluster’s researchers investigate inequality in areas such as education, income and wealth, and participation rights. They study how people perceive these inequalities, how they lead to collective mobilization, and how political actors respond to them. Applications are open to excellent postdoctoral researchers with a keen interest in the Cluster’s concepts and lines of research. We are looking for open-minded candidates interested in interdisciplinary research with the ability to actively seek collaborations beyond their own discipline. Project proposals that strengthen cross-country comparative research will be particularly welcome. We also invite proposals focusing on the Global South, on health or on environmental inequality.
