Call for Applications: Five KLI Writing-up Fellowships in Interdisciplinary Sustainability Science

The Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research (KLI) Writing-Up Fellowship is an individual fellowship awarded to excellent doctoral students in the final stage of their PhD to work independently on research projects supervised by their advisor in their home institutes. We look forward to receiving applications especially, but not exclusively, from the following research areas: social-ecological research, innovation research, inter and transdisciplinary sustainability research, transformation and transition research, environmental humanities, environmental history, and environmental ethics, geography, environmental economics, political economy, history, philosophy, and social studies of environmental and sustainability research. As "A Home to Theory that Matters," the KLI privileges theoretical, conceptual, and formal as well as philosophical, historical, and reflexive work in the life and sustainability sciences. Thus, the five fellowships are especially well-suited for two categories of late-stage PhD students: Those who have completed empirical research and wish to use the Writing-up Fellowship to elaborate on the (conceptual, epistemological, and methodological) underpinnings and implications of their work; and those whose research deals with the historical, philosophical, and conceptual foundations of sustainability research at the science/society interface.

The fellowship offers generous financial and career support to PhD students finalizing their thesis. Fellows will enjoy the benefits of the KLI resident fellowship program and receive relocation allowance and travel budgets for conferences. Deadlines: Pre-selection phase: Jan. 30, 2020 (submit statement of motivation through our contact form); full application: Feb. 29, 2020; and expected starting date of the fellowship: Sep. 2020 (duration: 3-6 months).
