Germany : 6 Doctoral Stipends in Research Training Group-Privacy

Six doctoral stipends (Euro 1,200.00 per month) will be awarded in April 2012 for an initial two-year period of support with a renewal option for a total three-year stipend.

The DFG-Research Training Group 1681 “Privacy. Forms, Functions, Transformations” is embedded in the Faculty of Philosophy and the Law Faculty at University of Passau. Applications to its interdisciplinary doctoral program from candidates with advanced language skills in German (DSH 2/TestDaF 4 or equivalent), an outstanding academic profile and an excellent, interdisciplinary research proposal are invited.

Please refer to our homepage for a list of disciplines participating in the program. Applications from other disciplines can be accepted if the research project can be supervised by a member of the Research Training Group.

The Research Training Group focuses on the concept of ‘privacy’ due to its current societal and scientific relevance. An interdisciplinary analysis and its application to present challenges have not yet been undertaken. Until today, privacy has always been regarded as a residuum. Throughout the Research Training Group’s research activities, the private and its relation to the non-private will be considered as culturally, historically and socially formed. The Research Training Group will thus reconstruct the concept of privacy with the overall aim of a comprehensive theory of privacy, describing its parameters and interaction with other concepts.

The structured academic program equally provides its graduates with core academic skills, thematic expertise and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary context. By means of further qualification the program supports participants’ personal development and helps them succeed in a competitive labor market. Supported by academic and non-academic supervisors, participants are enabled to complete their individual research projects quickly and successfully.
