About this position

The International PhD Programme (IPP) in Literary and Cultural Studies at Justus Liebig University Giessen is a structured, research-oriented doctoral programme designed for students working in literary and cultural studies. It brings together four main research areas: literary and cultural theory, genre theory, literary and cultural historiography, and comparative and interdisciplinary issues.

The programme is embedded in a broad humanities environment at Justus Liebig University Giessen, with participating departments including English and American Studies, German Studies, Romance Studies, Slavic Studies, Comparative Literary Studies, and Theatre Studies. Students are integrated into the academic structures of the Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC) and the Giessen Graduate Centre for the Humanities (GGK), and can join junior research groups and contribute to the GGK/GCSC online review journal KULT_online.

IPP students follow a curriculum that combines core modules, seminars, workshops, and master’s classes with internationally recognized scholars. The programme emphasizes early independent research and connects participants with summer schools and conferences through an international academic network. It also provides a setting in which doctoral researchers can develop a strong profile for both academic and non-academic career paths.

The research environment includes structured supervision and mentoring, plus support from the GGK/GCSC Career Service and the GCSC Teaching Centre. International doctoral candidates also benefit from tutorials, language courses, and social and cultural activities that support participation in the German academic community. The programme is fully embedded in the research culture of the university and its associated graduate centres.
