Location:   Germany
Position:   Doctoral Fellow
 
 
Department II of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology has the
opportunity to offer:
 
 
2 PhD positions/ PhD grants
 
starting 1 October 2011(or as soon as possible thereafter).
 
Two positions for new PhD students are to be filled in the following four
area:
 
Kinship and Social Support in China and Vietnam
 
( <http://www.eth.mpg.de/cms/en/research/d2/socsec.html>
http://www.eth.mpg.de/cms/en/research/d2/socsec.html)
 
We wish to consolidate an existing group of researchers in the department,
who have built upon earlier research in Europe funded by the European Union.
Applications on this occasion should outline a fieldwork project in China
(PRC).
 
General Requirements: Good field research skills, the ability to work in a
team, and a good command of written and spoken English are required.
Acquisition of the German language is encouraged, especially if there is
relevant literature on the research topic in German. Prior field experience
in the designated research location and knowledge of the relevant national
and local languages are an advantage; in some cases it may be possible to
extend extra support for the necessary language acquisition. The workplace
is Halle/Saale.
 
PhD grants and positions are generally awarded for 2 years, with the
possibility of up to four six-month extensions. The Max Planck Society is
committed to raising the proportion of women in science; we thus explicitly
encourage applications by female researchers. Individuals with disabilities
will be given priority, assuming equal qualifications.
 
 
There is no application form. Applicants should send the following
documentation:
 
•a cover letter
 
•a CV including a list of publications
 
•a two-page summary of the proposed research, which should demonstrate clear
links both to the applicant’s previous work and qualifications and to the
respective research field
 
•photocopies of university degrees
 
•a writing sample (e.g. a thesis chapter or a publication in either English
or German)
 
•names of two or three referees, whom we may contact
