Max Weber Fellowships
http://www.iue.it/Servac/Postdoctoral/MaxWeberFellowships/
Deadline for MWP Fellowships academic year 2009-2010 is 25 Oct. 2008
The Max Weber Programme is the largest postdoctoral programme for
young researchers in the social sciences and humanities in Europe. It
is funded by the European Commission (DG Education) and hosted by the
European University Institute in Florence.
The Programme offers 1–2 year fellowships to junior post-docs who have
received a doctorate in economics, history, law or political and
social sciences in the last 5 years.
Fellows are selected on the basis of their research accomplishments
and potential, their academic career interests, and the availability
of EUI faculty to provide mentorship.
The Programme is aimed at young academics who want to consolidate
their research and training in an active multidisciplinary environment
before entering the international academic job market, or who wish to
develop their skills in advanced research and academic practice.
To promote research and training the Programme provides communication
skills (writing, presentation and teaching), multidisciplinary
research workshops, and hosts the MWP Academic Careers Observatory
Max Weber Fellows are encouraged and supported in their own research
agendas and will work in close cooperation with the Departments of the
European University Institute (EUI) and/or the Robert Schuman Centre
for Advanced Studies (RSCAS). Fellows are associated with a department.

Department of Economics

The EUI research community of professors, researchers and fellows
provides an excellent environment to host and develop the Max Weber
Programme.
