The Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG) provides an attractive research environment for talented postdoctoral fellows. It offers up to five postdoctoral fellowships a year to researchers of all nationalities. Fellowships are awarded for one year with an option to extend for a second year under certain conditions. During their tenure, fellows are expected to reside in Cologne and participate in the intellectual life of the institute. Postdoctoral fellows may do research on a topic of their choice in the fields of economic sociology, political economy, or contemporary history. Their projects must relate to the substantive concerns of the institute’s research program.
