About this position
The Class of Language within the Graduate School Language & Literature at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich offers a doctoral environment for research in the linguistic disciplines. The program combines a structured interdisciplinary curriculum with individual and intensive supervision by faculty members, and it encourages exchange among doctoral candidates, faculty, and international visiting scholars.
For the summer semester 2027, LMU Munich invites applications for one funded doctoral position (TV-L E13, 50%, expected start date April 1, 2027) as well as additional regular unfunded doctoral program places. The school also offers training in transferable skills and financial support for research and conference travel, making it a strong option for students seeking both academic development and a supportive research community.
The broader graduate school environment includes the Class of Language Education, the Class of Literature, and the Class of Culture and History, providing opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange beyond the core language-focused curriculum. Applicants who are admitted but do not receive a scholarship are supported in applying for external doctoral funding.
This opportunity is based in München, Germany. The application deadline is December 1, 2026. Further information and the online application portal are available via the link in the posting. Contact for the post is Dr. Markus Wiefarn ([email protected]).
