The Cluster of Excellence “The Politics of Inequality” involves researchers

Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Cluster of Excellence “The Politics of

“The Politics of Inequality” is a Cluster of Excellence at the University of
Konstanz. The Cluster’s researchers investigate inequality in areas such as

these inequalities, how they lead to collective mobilization, and how
political actors respond to them.

Applications are open to excellent postdoctoral researchers (minimum
requirement: doctoral thesis submitted) with a keen interest in the Cluster’s
concepts and lines of research. We are looking for individuals who are
expected to have a strong impact on the field of inequality research in the
years to come. We encourage open-minded candidates interested in
interdisciplinary research with the ability to actively seek collaborations
beyond their own discipline.

fellowship. The Research Proposal should include information on the research
question(s), methods, potential follow-ups, the feasibility and relevance of
the project and its fit with the Cluster’s interests.
– Curriculum Vitae and a list of publications
– Certification of a completed doctoral degree or submitted thesis (issued by
the main doctoral advisor)
– Names of two potential referees
