The Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS), one of the leading social science graduate schools in Germany, offers again PhD stipends and Postdoc positions for political scientists, sociologists, psychologists, lawyers and economists.

Ph.D. Stipends/Fellowships
BIGSSS seeks candidates with strong academic abilities and a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in political science, sociology, or psychology.  Applicants with a degree in law, economics, or other social science disciplines are also welcome.  We offer Ph.D. stipends of 1300 euros/month for 36 months, contingent on successful completion of each year.

Postdoctoral Positions
We seek candidates pursuing English-language publication projects based either on their dissertations (by making findings available to an international audience through a book or journal articles) or new research.  Postdoctoral Positions are paid in line with TVL E13 and may be taken up for a period between 6 and 24 months. The competition is open to candidates who have received a doctorate in political science, sociology, psychology, law, economics or other social science disciplines within the last 3 years and to those who have finished prior to commencing their postdoctoral stay.

Predoctoral Fellowships for BA Graduates
Additionally, BIGSSS offers 2 stipends of 800 euros/month for particularly talented BA graduates. After fulfilling some course requirements and having their proposals accepted within the first year, candidates can switch into the regular three year program.  More information as well as lists of required application materials can be found at www.bigsss-bremen.de.
