Description
Visitors should have research or work experiences related to economic anthropology, and have intellectual interest in research agendas of the Department (https://www.eth.mpg.de/5427412/department_xiang). Our research themes will be constantly evolving, and your ideas could play an important part in shaping our agendas.
The fellowship is open to all social science disciplines from the academic community and beyond, and to all levels of seniority, from PhD students to full professors. A fellowship typically lasts between one and six months. During this period, the Institute provides a monthly living stipend varying according to the visitor’s seniority and contributions. Furthermore, fellows will have full access to the Institute facilities. You are expected to provide one or more seminar presentation to reflect on a foundational theory, concept, idiom or ethnographic case in economic anthropology. You are also requested to lead a reading group discussion on a related topic. Members in the Department may approach you for advices on questions related to your expertise.
If a physical visit to the institute proves difficult due to COVID-19 conditions, we recommend a virtual visit arrangement. The virtual visit gives you access to MPI resources and allows you to participate in activities online.
If physical travel takes place, we will cover the cost of one round trip from your home place to Halle and assist you to find a local accommodation.
The Max Planck Society strives to ensure gender equality and diversity.
