The MaxPo PhD program runs in close collaboration with the doctoral program of the International Max Planck Research School on the Social and Political Constitution of the Economy (IMPRSSPCE, imprs.mpifg.de) in Cologne. Together, we offer the possibility of a double doctorate degree (cotutelle de thèse).

They should have experience with qualitative and quantitative methods. There is no nationality requirement; however, a firm command of English and a working knowledge of French is required.

Fellowship conditions: 2,188 euros (monthly gross salary); three-year contract starting in January 2019, including a 12-week period of administrative service to MaxPo along with a research stay at the IMPRS-SPCE in Cologne.
