Universities of Bremen and Göttingen (Department of Politics & Faculty of Law) and University of Oxford (Department of Politics and International Relations & Institute of European and Comparative Law, Faculty of Law)

Applications are invited for a number of two-year postdoctoral Fellowships to work mainly at the University of Oxford. The Fellows will work on the transformation of the modern state with a focus on Western Europe (including Germany) and/or European integration, be it in political science, law, history or economics. The programme welcomes international comparative perspectives extending to all parts of Europe as well as comparisons between the European Union and other regional blocks. Fellowships will start in September 2009.

The programme aims to enable outstanding scholars at the start of their careers to spend time in an intellectually stimulating environment and to turn their finished doctoral theses into an English-language manuscript suitable for publication with a good university press. The programme also intends to establish an international network of leading scholars specialising in the study of the state.
