Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence Politics of Money Doctoral Scholarships 2021 for International Researchers – University of Bayreuth

 The Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence at the University of Bayreuth, funded by the Excellence Strategy of the German Federal and State Governments, invites applications for Two Doctoral Researchers (m/f/d) in the Junior Research Group ‘The political economy of monetary and economic sovereignty in West Africa compared’ 

Application Deadline: 10th May 2021

Eligibility:

  • Situated in the emergent field of postcolonial International Political Economy and thus in political science and International Relations, we are open to heterodox economists, economic sociologists, anthropologists or geographers and others. A strong interest in theory and fine-grained, empirical work including archival and interview work is essential. Methodological skills in qualitative research and the handling of numbers, mostly descriptive statistics, are an asset. Previous research or work experience on the African continent and some knowledge about finance and/or labor and/or social movements would be nice.  Ideally, candidates should be curious and reflective but also able and willing to put their thoughts into clear and structured prose.
  • While your main task will be the completion of your own doctoral thesis including six to eight months of field research, you will also contribute to the project by helping to organize workshops, talks or reading groups. As the working language of the cluster is English, proficiency in English (spoken and written) or the capacity and willingness to learn English is required. French is a plus and a requirement for the Francophone case study. PhD theses can also be written in French.
  • Number of Awards: 2

    Value of Award: Salary will be 3000-3500 Euro gross/month depending on experience (TV-L 13, 75%). Bayreuth and the Cluster host an ever-growing number of inspiring scholars and it would be great to welcome you here. Next to the project work in the research group you will pursue your doctoral studies within the Bayreuth International Graduate School of African Studies (BIGSAS), the graduate school of the Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence. A regular presence in Bayreuth is required, yet individual arrangements are possible.
