Call for Applications Type: Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Intercultural Studies Institution: College of Fellows – Center for Interdisciplinary and Intercultural Studies, University of Tübingen Location: Tübingen (Germany) Date: 2022–2023 Deadline: Ongoing __________________________________________________ The College of Fellows – Center for Interdisciplinary and Intercultural Studies (CoF – CIIS) of the University of Tübingen is currently inviting applications for International Research Fellowships for a period of up to 12 months in the field of Intercultural Studies. The College of Fellows-CIIS is Tübingen University's institute for advanced studies promoting interdisciplinary research.

One of these focus groups is on interculturality, in which successful applicants will participate. The call is open only to scholars who have been working academically outside of Germany for at least two years at the time of application. Applicants must have successfully completed their PhD, initial postdoctoral research experience is welcome. Applicants are expected to pursue their own research project in the field of intercultural and global studies, dealing with fundamental questions regarding the awareness of the coexistence of different cultures in the global world. Within the scholarship program, the main interest lies on following exemplary issues: What is cultural belonging, and can one speak of such a notion at all? What impact does globalization have on conceptions of such cultural belonging? In which ways do global cultural entanglements effect the self-understanding of societies, and how can hidden power structures and ascriptions of identity be uncovered? Can the diversity of intellectual and lived traditions be represented in the global reality of contemporary societies, and how? Do globalized cultural entanglements change our relationship to nature? And what does this mean for the humanities and even the sciences? Successful applicants are expected to organize a workshop in collaboration with CoF – CIIS, and to participate in weekly research colloquia. Fellows are required to take residence in Tübingen; very good German and/or English language skills are mandatory. The research project must be conducted in one of these two languages.
