[Bilimsel Haber] Ph.D. Positions

[Talip Kucukcan]

      The Center of Excellence EXC16 „Cultural Foundations of Integration“ at the University of Konstanz invites applications for three half-time Ph.D. Positions (salary scale EG 13 TV-L) starting October 1st, 2007, limited to three years in the framework of the research group “Idioms of Social Analysis”.

      The research group is dedicated to the interdisciplinary investigation of academic and non-academic social analyses, especially in regard to their potential to co-constitute society and culture. Social analyses do not exclusively emerge within the discipline of sociology. They form a vaguely defined discursive field which also comprises other academic disciplines (such as literary studies, political science, or historiography) as well as non-academic debates (such as in journalism or fiction). Therefore the members of the research group investigate social analyses from the viewpoints of the sociology of knowledge and the history of ideas as well as from narratological and genreperspectives.

      The research group focuses in particular on discourses and practices of criticism as part of social analyses. Further information can be obtained at:

      Ph.D. projects may address, but are not restricted to, the following topics and issues:
      Critical social analyses in modernity, the history of their impact and their relationship to projects of political integration.
      Structural changes in genres of social analysis and their relationship to practices of academic criticism.
      Comparison of different social analyses and their forms of criticism.
      Mechanisms of the tradition of critical social-analytical theories and currents.
      Social-analytical genres from the viewpoint of the sociology of knowledge and the history of concepts.
      Criticism of society in the social sciences and the constitution of orders of justification and legitimation.

      The University of Konstanz is an equal opportunity employer and tries to increase the number of women in research and teaching. 

      The University encourages disabled persons, who will be given preference if appropriately qualified, to apply (Contact 0049- 7531/88-3725). 

      The University of Konstanz has been certified by the Hertie Foundation to be a family-friendly institution. The University is committed to further the compatibility of work and family life. 

      Applicants should hold an outstanding M.A. or Magister/Magistra degree or diploma in social sciences, literary studies, philosophy, history or/and in related areas.
