About this position

The Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden invites applications for a doctoral fellowship in International Politics within the interdisciplinary guiding theme “Energy Cultures in Transition.” The Lab brings together researchers from the social sciences and humanities, artists, and STEM partners to examine how technology, science, and society shape one another.

The doctoral project will investigate energy as a cultural, political, ecological, economic, and socio-technological phenomenon. Potential research directions include transnational energy transitions; distributional conflicts in global governance and transnational networks; cross-border labour relations; transnational advocacy and international norms; legitimation strategies for objectives such as CO2 reduction; and the local consequences of global energy politics. Projects may draw on qualitative, comparative, ethnographic, social movement, conflict, or political-sociological approaches.

The successful fellow will develop an independent dissertation in Political Science, International Relations, or Political Sociology while participating in the Schaufler Kolleg’s structured qualification programme. The role involves interdisciplinary dialogue, especially with STEM partners, collaborative research with artists through the Schaufler Residency, and engagement in science communication and public outreach.

The fellowship is based at TUD Dresden University of Technology and includes integration into the Schaufler Lab’s interdisciplinary research environment. Fellows share office facilities and have access to research infrastructure, Research Studios, writing retreats, the Graduate Academy, further training opportunities, and an English-language training programme.
