Europe and the Invention of Modernity - Doctoral Program

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR THE EUROPEAN DOCTORAL PROGRAMME IN THE HUMAN AND SOCIAL SCIENCES CURRICULUM IN ‘EUROPE AND THE INVENTION OF MODERNITY


Educational project
The aim of the doctoral programme is to give young researchers advanced training in the historic disciplines, viewed in the context of the current international debate on historiography, and to equip them with the tools they need to interpret historiography in relation to the other human and social sciences. Students will also receive instruction in techniques for accessing sources, and in the peculiar methodologies and procedures of historic research. The programme is not only designed for scholars specializing in modern history, but covers a long period ranging from the end of the Middle Ages through to the contemporary age. The doctorate has a specifically European perspective, not only as regards its scientific objectives but also in the way it is structured, bringing together as it does five research and research training institutions in four different nations. Using the resources at their disposal, the five institutions intend to establish a dialogue between different historiographic traditions within a unitary discourse, a fundamental goal for achieving a better understanding of Europe today.

Study grants
Four three-year study grants will be awarded by the SUM. The grants are worth € 20,000 per year, paid out in monthly instalments. A specific insurance policy (health and accident insurance) valid in the Country where the student will stay will be taken out for each student. The doctoral students will also be given access to the teaching and scientific resources of the partner institutions. Candidates are admitted to the programme according to a classification, up until the number of places available.

The partner company supports the fellow throughout their studies in the MBA program and during a 6-month traineeship period in the company upon graduation. “The support of my sponsor allows me to really concentrate on my performance in class,” said Natalia Nazarova, Allianz Corporate Fellow, MBA Class of 2009, who will be completing her traineeship at the corporate headquarters in Munich. “Not having to worry about placement upon graduation is also important to me, as it takes away one of the main worries of any MBA student.”

Center for Religious Studies Doctoral Scholarships

The Center for Religious Studies (CERES) at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany, announces 6 Doctoral Scholarships in the field of Religion and Migration for a period of three years from January 1st, 2010. After successful completion of the PhD an additional post-doc option can be granted for 18 months to publish the re-sults and prepare research proposals.

The scholarships are part of an interdisciplinary research group on the social and economic potentials of religious communities, which is supported by the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia in northwestern Germany.

Under supervision of Jun.-Prof. Dr. Alexander-Kenneth Nagel the doctoral candidates are to conduct research on religious migrant networks and their integrative potentials in ethnically and culturally diverse regions, such as the Ruhrgebiet. The focal point of our research group is a network analytical perspective on tangible and non-tangible resources provided by religious communities either on their own or in conjunction with other religious (e.g. interfaith coalitions) or non-religious organizations (e.g. public-private partnerships).

Applicants are required to have an advanced university degree (master level) in Religious or Cultural Studies or Social Sciences as well as the capability and readiness to pursue empirical fieldwork and to become actively involved in interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration. Engagement with the study of migration, anthropology at home or local religious history would be desirable. Proficiency in network analysis is useful, but not required, since skills will be developed in the initial phase of the re-search group.

The Ruhr-Universität aims at increasing the share of women in research and teach-ing and encourages female scientists to apply.

Applications with the usual documents (CV, degree certificates, publication list, letter of motivation) and a short proposal of the dissertation topic (3-4 pages) should be sent to Jun.-Prof. Dr. Alexander-Kenneth Nagel, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Center for Religious Studies (CERES), Universitätsstraße 150, D-44780 Bochum or to alexander-kenneth.nagel@rub.de until 15th November 2009.

Doctoral Studentships on ‘Generation to Reproduction’, University of Cambridge, UK

Doctoral Studentships on ‘Generation to Reproduction’

Department of History and Philosophy of Science
Vacancy Reference No: JN05776

Limit of tenure applies*

The University invites applications for two doctoral studentships funded by a Wellcome strategic award in history of medicine . We seek outstanding candidates whose research would fall within the theme ‘Generation to Reproduction’.

‘Generation’ and ‘reproduction’ are at the heart of medicine. They involve theories of sex and gender; entities such as seeds, germs, embryos, monsters and clones; concerns about creation, evolution, degeneration and regeneration; investments in maternity, paternity and heredity; practices of fertility control, potency and childbirth; and health relations between citizen and state, individual and population. These crossroads for rich traffic to and from biology, the social sciences and the humanities have been of intense public and historical interest since the 1970s. Yet for all the excellent historical work, research tends to be dispersed among sub-disciplines and periods. The major frameworks are showing their age. Central topics, such as the recent rise of technologies of assisted reproduction, have hardly been studied. This award brings together expertise in every major period, and combines quantitative social and demographic approaches with more anthropologically oriented histories of natural philosophy, biology and medicine. We aim for a systematic reassessment of the field.

Possible areas for doctoral projects include, but are not limited to:

- patient-practitioner relations around fertility and other encounters that framed the generative body;

- the influence of diseases on reproductive behaviour and demographic patterns;

- representation and communication of generation and reproduction;

- ancient, medieval and early-modern investigations into generation;

- generation and childbirth in medical cases and casebooks;

- the reorganization of knowledge of generation/reproduction, especially in the age of revolutions;

- such sciences as embryology, obstetrics, gynaecology, evolutionary biology, reproductive physiology, genetics and developmental biology;

- reform movements around birth control, population control and sexual science;

- twentieth-century transformations in techniques, experiences and regulation;

- networks linking academic biology to reproductive medicine and public health, agriculture, especially animal breeding, and/or pharmaceutical industry;

- techniques for monitoring and manipulating pregnancy, hormones, genes, gametes and embryos, e.g., pregnancy testing, genetic screening, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer;

- sexology, psychology and psychoanalysis, including social and psychological practices for making babies and families.

The three-year studentships pay a generous stipend plus University and College fees at the home rate only. Candidates will usually be expected to hold a Master’s in the history of medicine or with strong emphasis on the history of medicine.

Informal inquiries may be made to the award holder with the most relevant interests .
Formal applications should be submitted through the relevant Department or Faculty in the usual way, indicating an interest in one of these studentships. The deadline for applications is 15 February 2010 to be admitted in October 2010. The closing date for online applications is 1 February. However, you will need to apply earlier than this if you wish to be considered for funding from the Cambridge Trusts, Arts and Humanities Research Council or Cambridge International Scholarships. The earliest of these deadlines, for applicants from the USA applying for a Gates Cambridge Scholarship, is 15 October 2009.

We also welcome applications from students wishing to be nominated for the Wellcome Trust’s annual doctoral studentship competition, or for a master’s award to take the MPhil. in History, Philosophy and Sociology of Science, Technology and Medicine.

* Limit of tenure: 3 years.

Closing date: 15 February 2010.

The University values diversity and is committed to equality of opportunity.
