The Graduate School Global Intellectual History invites applications for
twelve PhD fellowships and one postdoctoral fellowship.

The graduate school aims to explore intellectual reactions to processes
of entanglement from the 18th to 20th century in their social, cultural
and political contexts: the trans-border spread of ideas, claims to
universal validity, as well as counter-movements and resistance to such
claims.

The graduate school is funded by the German Research Council (DFG) and
jointly run by Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt-Universität Berlin.
It builds on a strong research tradition in area studies and global
history at both universities, including the jointly-run MA program in
Global History. It offers a stimulating research environment,
substantial financial support for archival stays and a strong network of
international partners in the form of the Global History Cooperative.

Successful candidates will develop a PhD dissertation/postdoc project in
the field of global intellectual history (18th to 20th century) and
contribute to the activities of the program in the form of seminars,
workshops and/or summer schools.

Fellowships are offered as research positions on a fixed-term basis for
three years starting on April 1, 2017. Salary is in accordance with TV-L
FU level E13.
