Doctorate Stipends
With its new graduate programme “Human Development in Landscapes” the Christian-Albrechts-University (CAU) at Kiel expands its research and educational activities under the focus „Humans and Environmental Change”. The graduate school is funded by the excellence initiative programme of the German Government and supported by the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein. Therefore the CAU offers twenty doctoral stipends for outstanding young researchers.

Grants of 1200€/month will be provided for two years with the option of extension for a further year. Eligible candidates must hold an outstanding university degree in one of the fields relevant to the theme, covering the multidisciplinary scope of »Human Development in Landscapes« (further information: www.uni-kiel.de/landscapes). The graduate programme is jointly offered by the Faculties of Humanities, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Medicine, and Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences. Thus orientation of PhD projects should be interdisciplinary, and supervision will be provided at an inter-faculty level. Candidates are invited to submit proposals for PhD research projects that should address one of the following themes: »Society and Reflection«, »Social Space and Landscape«, »Mobility, Innovation and Change«.

Applications including a curriculum vitae, copies of credentials, two letters of reference and an outline of your proposed PhD research project can be submitted until 20 December 2007 to the coordinator of the proposed graduate school:
