About this position
The Leibniz ScienceCampus Europe and America in the Modern World at the University of Regensburg offers a pre-doctoral research position for an early-career researcher preparing a doctoral project in the humanities, cultural studies, social sciences, business and economics, or law.
The ScienceCampus is a joint platform of the University of Regensburg and the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies. It provides an interdisciplinary research environment focused on Europe, North and Latin America, and the connections between these regions and the wider global world. Research may address European-American relations at the macro level or their effects on smaller-scale regions and sociocultural groups.
Potential research areas include cultural translations; security, peace and conflict studies; political transformations; migration studies; trade and economic cooperation; and theoretical and practical reflections on area studies. The position is suited to candidates developing an original, interdisciplinary doctoral project that engages with questions of space, entanglement, and globalization.
The successful researcher will develop and submit a funding application for a doctoral degree at the University of Regensburg, build visibility through publications and conferences, participate in the ScienceCampus and Graduate School doctoral programmes, and contribute to outreach, knowledge transfer, and ongoing initiatives with partner institutions. The research environment includes cooperation with area studies platforms in Regensburg, including the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies, REAF, the Spanish Research Centre, DIMAS, Denkraum Ukraine, and seeFField.
Researchers will benefit from doctoral and early-career support through WIN, the Center for Graduate & Postgraduate Researchers, PUR, the Doctoral College of the Philosophical Faculties, and the university’s funding advice department, alongside peer mentoring, international partner networks, and opportunities for research and conference travel.
