BIGSSS‐HWK Visiting Fellowship
The BIGSSS‐HWK Visiting Fellowship is an international researcher mobility program offering a 6‐month
research stay at two renowned academic institutions in the social sciences: The Hanse‐
Wissenschaftskolleg, being one of Germanys leading institutes for advanced study, is a foundation of the
federal states of Bremen and Lower Saxony and the city of Delmenhorst. The Bremen International
Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS) is an inter‐university institute of the University of Bremen and
Jacobs University Bremen supported by the German Excellence Initiative.
The program supports excellent research of outstanding scholars. Fellows benefit from exceptional
intellectual and research conditions. They enjoy both the stimulating environment of a multi‐disciplinary
and international community of first‐rate scholars and a graduate school with an outstanding faculty,
innovative teaching concepts as well as an international body of bright Ph.D. postdoctoral students.
We expect our visiting fellows to participate in regular activities of the HWK and to engage in doctoral
education/supervision at BIGSSS including teaching a minimum of one course and taking actively part in
the regular research colloquium. Presence at both institutes is expected. The BIGSSS‐HWK Visiting
Fellowship offers financial support, accommodation and partial reimbursement of travel expenses.
The BIGSSS‐HWK Visiting Fellowship welcomes applications worldwide from promising postdoctoral
scholars as well as from leading senior researchers. The integration of most major social‐science
disciplines into one school is a key asset of BIGSSS, its umbrella theme being “Changing Patterns of Social
and Political Integration“(find out more at http://www.bigsss‐bremen.de/academic‐program). Applicants holding
a Ph.D. either in Political Science, Sociology, Psychology or one of the neighboring disciplines (law, history,
economics) need to be able to relate to one of BIGSSS’ three thematic fields:
Global Governance and Regional Integration
Welfare State, Inequality and Quality of Life
Changing Lives in Changing Socio‐Cultural Contexts.
