About this position

Central European University (CEU) in Vienna, Austria, is offering up to five funded PhD places in Comparative History for the 2027/28 academic year. The four-year programme is accredited in Austria and the United States and welcomes interdisciplinary research proposals examining interconnected historical cultures and geographies.

Historical Studies at CEU has particular strengths in the history of Central Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean, while faculty research also covers areas ranging from the United States to Central and East Asia. Chronologically, research spans late antiquity to the present. Students are encouraged to pursue individual research interests rather than work exclusively on faculty-led projects.

During the first year, students are based in Vienna and study historiography, research methodology, relevant languages, and electives. The second and third years may involve archival research, fieldwork, conference participation, teaching development, and the organisation of conferences or workshops. The fourth year focuses on dissertation writing with support from faculty and the PhD community.

The funding package includes a full tuition waiver, a monthly stipend, and a research allowance currently listed as EUR 5,200 for the programme duration, together with dedicated PhD office space and access to academic events and research networks. Applicants must provide two recommendation letters, an English-language research proposal, and a writing sample by January 15, 2027.
