About this position
The Doctoral Programme in Governance at the Hertie School offers PhD candidates the chance to pursue doctoral research in the social sciences within an international and multidisciplinary environment in Berlin.

PhD researchers benefit from rigorous academic training, close supervision, and institutional support, alongside opportunities to build professional skills for careers in academic and non-academic institutions. The school emphasizes structured research and supervision, research training and discussion, and career development opportunities through workshops and advisory services.
The programme is embedded in a strong research setting in the heart of Berlin and cooperates with leading doctoral programmes in Europe through the EU-funded CIVICA project. Teaching and programme communication are conducted entirely in English.
