ISSBD-JJF Mentored Fellowships for Early Career Scholars, Germany

Overview

The ISSBD promotes research on human development throughout the lifespan. Its more than 1000 members come from over 60 different countries. International exchange and collaboration are among its key features.

Fellowships

The ISSBD and the Jacobs Foundation share an interest in developing the careers of early career
scholars from all parts of the world, including currency-restricted countries, and have established a fellowship program for this purpose. The target groups are students who intend to pursue a doctorate in developmental research, or who have recently enrolled in a doctoral program at their home institution. The program will primarily focus on students studying psychology and educational sciences; applications from neighbouring fields are also welcome. Fellowships will be located at the institutions in which the students enroll in their PhDs, and will commence in January 2012. They offer mentorship, financial assistance, and opportunities for travel to further develop students’ research skills. In particular, fellowships provide: (a) transnational mentorship by ISSBD members who will work in partnership with the students’ local supervisor; (b) a monthly stipend of up to US$1500, depending on living expenses in the country of residence; and (c) the opportunity to apply for additional travel grants to facilitate institutional exchange. The language for mentoring is English.

Half of the fellowships are reserved for students from currency-restricted countries.


Requirements

Applicants should:

a. hold, or have documents indicating that they will soon hold, qualifications that meet eligibility
requirements for entry into a PhD program. This qualification should be in a field relevant to
developmental research;

b. have identified a doctoral project in developmental research, confirmed that they are eligible
to enroll in a PhD at the institution in which they intend to complete the project, and have
agreement from a staff member from that institution that they will provide supervision for
the project;

c. be proficient in spoken and written English.
The program welcomes participation by women, and does not discriminate on the basis of race,
ethnicity, religion, or disability.

Deadline for applications: September 15, 2011
