Description:

The Cluster of Excellence “The Politics of Inequality” involves researchers
from political science, sociology, economy, linguistics, psychology and
education studies. Within linguistics we are looking at the role of language
(primarily argumentation and framing) in political discourse and are studying
language acquisition and unequal access to information in migrant or generally
underprivileged communities

Doctoral Positions at the Cluster of Excellence
“The Politics of Inequality” (f/m/d)
(part-time 65%, TV-L E13, 1+3 years, starting date: October 2020)

The Cluster of Excellence on “The Politics of Inequality: Perceptions,
Participation and Policies” at the University of Konstanz was established in
January 2019. The Cluster’s researchers analyze the political dimension of
inequality from an interdisciplinary perspective combining political science,
sociology, economics, linguistics, empirical education research and social
psychology.

The Cluster offers doctoral positions to highly motivated graduates with an
outstanding Master’s degree or equivalent, obtained in a field which is
relevant to the Cluster’s research agenda. The Cluster has three primary
Research Areas:

1. Perceptions, which studies subjective perceptions of inequality and how
they are related to the formation of preferences and attitudes with a
particular focus on the role of framing effects;
2. Participation, in which we investigate to what extent perceptions of
inequality are related to patterns of political mobilization and
participation;
3. Policies, where we study whether policy-making processes are responsive to
public demands and political mobilization and how these policy responses, in
turn, affect structural inequalities.

PhD candidates pursue their doctoral research projects independently or as
part of the project teams in one of the Cluster’s research projects
(https://www.exc.uni-konstanz.de/en/inequality/research/projects/).

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to join the new Graduate
School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (GSBS), which will be established in
the fall of 2020. The Cluster “The Politics of Inequality” offers a vibrant
international and interdisciplinary research environment and community.

Your application, which must be sent by 15 April 2020, must include the
following documents: Full curriculum vitae; official transcript of records for
all studies; degree certificates; a one-page statement of purpose detailing
your intended research project and its fit with the Cluster’s research
programme, in particular its research areas; proof of English proficiency; and
two separate letters of recommendation.

The Graduate School of Decision Sciences handles the application process. Full
information on the necessary application documents and requirements, as well
