The Max Weber Programme is among the largest postdoctoral programmes in the historical and social sciences in Europe. It offers around 50-60 fully funded Fellowships to suitably qualified researchers from anywhere in the world who work in the fields of economics, history, law and social and political sciences. All areas and types of research within these fields are considered. Applicants can apply to be affiliated with one of the EUIs four departments (Economics, History and Civilisation, Law and Political and Social Sciences), the Robert Schuman Centre or the School of Transnational Governance. 

Applicants must be within 5 years of the award of their PhD. Preference is given to those who have recently completed a doctorate, not had a postdoctoral position before and/or are on the job market.
