Deadline: October 25, 2008

The Max Weber Programme at the European University Institute (EUI) is
Europe's largest postdoctoral programme in the social sciences and is
funded by the European Commission.

Max Weber Fellowships are for 1 or 2 years and are open to candidates
who have received a doctorate in economics, social and political
sciences, law or history within the last 5 years.

These fellowships are intended for young researchers who want to
consolidate their research and training in an active interdisciplinary
environment before entering the increasingly internationalised academic
job market, or young academics who are at the start of their careers in
an academic institution and who wish to develop their skills in advanced
research and academic practice.

Fellows are selected on the basis of their research accomplishments and
potential, their academic career interests, and the availability of the
EUI faculty to provide mentorship.

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.

The Max Weber Programme also provides communication skills (writing,
presentation and teaching), multidisciplinary research workshops, and
understanding of professional international academic life.

The deadline for application for fellowships for the academic year
2009/2010 is 25 October 2008.
