The program is intended for researchers from the fields of economic sociology and comparative and international political economy and offers stays generally ranging from 2 to 12 months. Applications are welcome from professors based either in Germany or abroad as well as postdoctoral and doctoral students. Your intended research project should relate to the MPIfG’s research program and ongoing projects at the Institute.

Applicants are asked to provide a funding plan. If your application is successful, you will receive a letter of invitation that you can use to approach grant-funding institutions. In exceptional cases, the MPIfG can provide support for living costs or a fellowship for a period lasting up to six months. Visiting researchers are provided with a desk and have full access to the Institute’s service infrastructure. Your application should include a C.V., the contact information of two referees, a list of your publications, and a two- to three-page proposal on your intended
research at the MPIfG.

Submit your application online as a single PDF file, in English or German, by April 30 for the following winter semester (starting October 1) and by October 31 for the following summer semester (starting April 1): www.mpifg.de/jobs
