One Postdoc Position (DFG funded)
The Research Training Group 1613 Risk and East Asia is funded by the German Research Foundation and part of the inter-faculty Institute of East Asian Studies (IN-EAST) at the University Duisburg-Essen. Its research program examines how large processes of economic, political and social institutional change play out in East Asian national and regional contexts. Participating researchers from Economics, Business Administration, Political Science, Sociology or social-science-based East Asian Studies examine the impact of market transformations, social organization, central-local interactions and transnationalization processes on shifts in the responsibility for and governance of risks from states to markets, from public to private bodies, and from collective to individual actors.
DFG scholars, starting in October 2015, and DAAD-GSSP scholars, starting in 2016, will receive a basic monthly stipend plus applicable allowances according to DFG and DAAD regulations. 3-year doctoral positions, starting in October 2015, are remunerated at 50% TVL-13. The 2-year postdoctoral position (100% TVL-13) will be filled in June. Field research/stays in East Asia are funded.
