Bard College Berlin
Bard College Berlin is hiring two fellows for a research project on economic and political self-determination in the Global South, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for three years - one PhD student in political science and one senior research fellow with a PhD whose discipline is flexible. The positions will be based at Bard College Berlin (residence arrangements are flexible) and come with a research allowance.
The joint research project studies the history and present of attempts at structural economic transformation after colonialism, anti-imperialism in theory and practice and contemporary organizing around socio-ecological transformation, reparations and delinking.
Apart from the research work, fellows will have the opportunity to gain teaching experience if they want to. The project will also liaise and collaborate with the Open Society University Network (OSUN), the African Monetary and Economic Sovereignty initiative and other partners to contribute to existing attempts at internationalism between scholarship and activism.
The two positions will ideally start in November 2023, but starting dates are negotiable. Salaries/fellowships will range between 3000 and 5000 Euros gross per month, depending on experience and social security and health insurance preferences, i.e. an employee position or a fellowship.
To apply, please send a cover letter, CV and a one-page description on your research and organizing ideas by 15 August 2023 to [email protected]. For any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the project leader Prof. Dr. Kai Koddenbrock.
