Max Weber Fellowships
-
The Max Weber Programme offers 1- and 2-year
fellowships. Two year fellowships involve additional academic
activities in the EUI departments, such as limited graduate teaching. The
annual deadline for applications for these Max Weber Fellowships is 25
October but please note that, after 25 October 2013 and up to 25 March
2014, applications for self-funded fellowships are considered on a first-come first-served basis for as long as there is capacity in the Max Weber Programme.
-
The Max Weber Programme is Europe’s largest
postdoctoral programme in the social sciences and humanities. It is
funded by the European Commission (DG Education and Culture) and hosted
by the European University Institute in Florence where the research
community of professors, researchers and fellows provides an excellent
environment for the Programme.
-
The Programme, open to all nationalities, is
designed for junior post-docs who have received a doctorate in
economics, law, history, social and political sciences, or a related
field, within the last 5 years and who want to advance in their research
and academic training, in an active multidisciplinary environment
before entering the international job market, or in the early stages of
their academic careers.
-
Fellows are selected on the basis of their
research accomplishments and potential, their academic career interests,
and the availability of the EUI faculty to provide mentorship.
-
Fellows are supported and encouraged to
pursue their research agendas and participate in the research activities
of the EUI, and in particular, the research activities of the Max Weber
Programme and of the EUI Departments with which they are affiliated.
-
The Max Weber Programme, hosted in the main
building of the EUI, the Badia Fiesolana, provides excellent research
facilities, a range of activities to improve communication skills
(writing, presentation and teaching), and actively supports Fellows
looking for an academic job; for those interested, it offers a range of
teaching-training possibilities (within the EUI, Florence and abroad),
and it organizes multidisciplinary research workshops and discussions on
different aspects of academic careers. Many of these activities are
organized by the Fellows themselves. All these elements (see the Programme of Activities
for more details) make the Max Weber Fellowship a unique and productive
multicultural and multidisciplinary personal and intellectual
experience at the beginning of a promising academic career.
-
As a service to the academic community at
large – especially to those starting an academic career in the social
sciences and humanities – the Programme hosts the Academic Careers Observatory.
