Stiftung Mercator and Istanbul Policy Center at Sabancı University invite academics and professionals with an interest in Turkey to apply for a fellowship program that aims to strengthen academic, political and social ties between Turkey and Germany, as well as between Turkey and Europe.
In the 2013/14 round, at least six Mercator – IPC Fellowships are available for outstanding young academics and professionals who have significant prior work experience.
– The fellows will be expected to work on academic or practical projects at IPC.
– A Master’s degree (or equivalent) is required for this position, but a PhD degree is strongly preferred. Applicants without a PhD degree will only be accepted if their work experience and expertise meet the program requirements to the jury’s satisfaction.
– Projects which focus on the German-Turkish nexus are likewise preferred.
– Applicants cannot apply for fellowships to fund their PhD dissertations.
The 2013/14 fellowships begin September 1, 2013 and the deadline for applications is April 1, 2013.Please send your applications or further questions by email to the Program Coordinator, Mr. Daniel Grütjen (see below for contact details).
