Overview
The Max Weber Programme is Europe’s largest postdoctoral programme in the social sciences and humanities. It is funded by the European Commission (DG Education and Culture) and hosted by the European University Institute in Florence where the research community of professors, researchers and fellows provides an excellent environment for the Programme.
The Programme, open to all nationalities, is designed for junior post-docs who have received a doctorate in economics, law, history, social and political sciences, or a related field, within the last 5 years and who want to advance in their research and academic training, in an active multidisciplinary environment before entering the international job market, or in the early stages of their academic careers.
Fellows are selected on the basis of their research accomplishments and potential, their academic career interests, and the availability of the EUI faculty to provide mentorship.
Fellows are supported and encouraged to pursue their research agendas and participate in the research activities of the EUI, and in particular, the research activities of the Max Weber Programme and of the EUI Departments with which they are affiliated.
Eligibility
Max Weber Fellowships are open to candidates who have received their Ph.D. or officially been accepted for defense by the time of the start of the programme (1 September).
Candidates are eligible during the five-year period following the successful completion of their Ph.D. For example, to apply for 2010/2011 you should have received or submitted your Ph.D. betweeen 1/9/2005 and 1/9/2010.
Extensions to the five-year rule are allowed for applicants whose academic career has been interrupted for maternity leave or illness. Cite circumstances in the application in the field 'Additional Notes'. Successful candidates will be asked to provide supporting documents.
EUI graduates can only apply for Max Weber Fellowships after having been away from the EUI and in a full-time occupation or with another fellowship for at least one year after defending their Ph.D.
Nationality
Candidates of all nationalities are eligible for the Max Weber Fellowships.
Languages
Fellows should have a good knowledge of English, the working language of the programme, and any other language relevant to their proposed research.
Duration
The Fellowships are awarded for 12 or 24 months. Candidates should indicate the preferred period in their application.
The EUI reserves the right to award 12 months due to the high demand for MWP Fellowships. The period will be indicated in the award letter.
Extensions or renewals are not allowed.
Stipend
The basic stipend is € 2,000 per month.
Successful applicants who receive other grants or salaries must disclose this to the EUI. The amount of the fellowship will be fixed at a lower rate (minimum €1,250 per month) depending on the amount of the additional income.
If applicable, family allowances will be added to the basic stipend (see below).
Family Allowance
A household allowance of € 300 per month is paid to fellows with a partner if the partner lives with them in Florence and on condition that the partner's income is not over € 2,000 per month.
There is a dependants allowance of € 200 per month for each dependent child living with the Fellow in Florence.
Fellows are entitled to these allowances if they are not receiving any similar allowance from another source, and on presentation of relevant certificates (mariage certificate or equivalent, birh certificates).
A school or university certificate is required for dependent children in full-time education and over the age of 18.
Applications for self-funded fellowships will be considered until May 25, 2010, provided that they can be accommodated within the Max Weber Programme. These applications (CV and Career Statement and, separately, Letters of Reference; all in PDF format) should be sent directly to externally-funded-mwf@eui.eu
