The EUI in Firenze currently has a call for
postdoctoral fellows.
The deadline for applications is 18 October
2022 at 14:00 (Italian Time). Late applications for the ECO
Department are accepted until all positions are filled. However, candidates in
this field are likewise strongly advised to apply by the deadline.
The Max Weber Programme (MWP) at the European
University Institute (EUI) is a unique postdoctoral programme in the historical
and social sciences in Europe. It is open to applicants who are within 5 years
from the completion of their PhD, from anywhere in the world, regardless of
nationality. The Programme is highly selective, with an annual acceptance rate
of <5% for a total of 55-60 Fellowships in the fields of political and
social sciences, economics, law, and history. Preference is given to applicants
who have only just completed their doctorate and have not had a postdoctoral
fellowship before. Selected Fellows will benefit from the stimulating
combination of a global programme located in the heart of Europe offering a
broad menu of multidisciplinary and disciplinary activities.
The Programme awards 1 and 2 year long
fellowships according to departments. In extraordinary cases only can a
fellowship be extended to a third year.
The grant provided by the Fellowship is
currently 2,070 EUR per month plus - when appropriate - a family allowance.
Fellows in the Department of Economics and Political and Social Sciences who
stay on for a second year will have the possibility of applying for a Part-time
assistant professor contract (level ASSPR6/3) for 12 months involving some
teaching duties and mentoring Ph.D. researchers: net remuneration would be
approximately 850 EUR in addition to the monthly grant. The MWP operates a
parental leave policy.
In addition to the scholarships funded by the
Max Weber Programme itself, there are additional grants available that
are funded by governments/foundations in Finland, Greece, Poland, Slovenia,
Spain and Japan to which nationals of these countries (and in some cases
residents in these countries) may also apply. Suitable applicants of any
nationality may also apply for a second year at the Graduate Institute of
International and Development Studies in Geneva (IHEID).
NB the availability of special grants varies from year to year – in
some years more countries and agencies may offer grants and in others fewer. Up
to date details can be found under the Information for Applicants tab. We
automatically consider eligible applicants for these opportunities.
The Max Weber Fellows enjoy the superb research
facilities of the European University Institute (including an outstanding
library, a shared office space, and a personal research fund of 1000 EUR - 2000
EUR for second or third year Economics Fellows who are on the job market). The
MWP is unique among postdoctoral programmes in helping Fellows to become full members
of a global academic community.
Fellows are given training and support in all
aspects of an academic career – from publishing
and presenting, teaching, applying for research grants and jobs. A particular focus is placed on communicating
effectively in English to different kinds of academic audiences.
Its placement record is second to none: most
Max Weber Fellows secure an academic position in the finest
institutions around the world upon completion of the Programme.
