European University Institute*
*Department of Political and Social Sciences
Call for Applications to the PhD Programme*
(Successful candidates are offered funding for up to four years)
The Department of Social and Political Sciences of the European University
Institute (Fiesole/
Florence) invites applications for its PhD Programme. The Department
specializes
in comparative politics, comparative sociology, international relations,
political behaviour
and social and political theory, and was recently listed as the top-ranking
political science
department in Europe.
The Department has good working relations in teaching and research with the
EUI Departments
of Law, History and Economics and the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced
Studies, and is at the centre of extensive international networks. It hosts
a number of large,
collaborative projects financed by the European Commission Framework
programmes or
other external sources. The main working language is English, although
theses can be
written in the other principal languages of the European Union.
The European University Institute is one of the world�s leading academic
institutions for
postgraduate study in the political and social sciences. Located in the
hills overlooking
Florence, it is distinguished by its unique international nature and strong
European focus.
It was founded in 1972 by the European Community Member States to provide
advanced
academic training to PhD students and to promote research at the highest
level. The SPS
Department currently has fifteen full-time professors from all parts of
Europe.
*PhD Research and Training*
The Department�s four-year doctoral programme puts a strong emphasis on the
theoretical
and methodological tools required for PhD research. In the first year there
is a common
core course on approaches and methods in the social sciences. Additional
courses in both
quantitative and qualitative methods are also available. A wide range of
seminars and
workshops is offered in substantial fields, many of them linked to the
current research
interests in the Department, while others are interdisciplinary and offered
jointly with
other departments in the Institute. Further intensive courses and workshops
are offered as
needed and funding is available for the summer schools run by the ECPR, the
ECSR, and
other organizations. Colloquia organized by professors with their
supervisees provide
spaces for discussion of research design and problems.
PhD researchers benefit from an excellent library which also includes a wide
range of
electronic resources. Language training is provided by the EUI Language
Centre. Funding
is available from the Department for PhD researchers to undertake trips for
field work or
archival research, and to participate in summer schools and conferences.
The Department hosts some twenty or more visiting and postdoctoral scholars
each year,
whose work is linked to that of the professors. They are available for
consultation by PhD
researchers, and normally present guest seminars based on their current
research. The
Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies is a research centre within the
EUI, and
professors and students in the SPS Department are fully involved in its
programme of
seminars and workshops.
*
Scholarships*
Each year up to 40 citizens of EU Member States, Norway and Switzerland, as
well as a
small number from elsewhere, are admitted to the PhD programme of the SPS
Department
and funded for four years (subject to satisfactory progress). The basic
monthly stipend
is around �1200, depending on the country. Some scholarships are available
to citizens
of non-EU states, under the Central and Eastern Europe, South-East Europe,
Mediterranean
and Latin American programmes. The basic entry requirements are a Masters�
degree in a relevant subject and language skills appropriate to the proposed
programme of
study.* The closing date for applications for the coming academic year is 31
January 2011.*

e-Network of Academia in Social Sciences (e-NASS)
Scientia est potentia (Francis Bacon)
Ilim ilim bilmektir/Ilim kendin bilmektir (Yunus Emre)
The e-NASS, outnumbering 5300 subscribers, aims to deepen interaction for further inter/intra/trans/multi-disciplinary communication within the academic community of scholars, professionals and students from all branches of social sciences. The language of communication at e-NASS is English; however, contributions in other languages are highly welcomed should they include an abstract in English. This e-network enthusiastically encourages its members to disseminate and share announcements of Call for Papers, Fellowships/Scholarships, Conferences, Graduate Programs, Websites, Publications, Summer Schools, Jobs, Internships and etc. If you have any scholarly announcement concerning social sciences, please do not hesitate to share it within this e-community. The e-NASS is essentially generalist to revive renaissance wo/men with global and historical perspectives covering from the mist-shrouded steppes of Asia to the sun-drenched African, American and European shores without neglecting the exotic Oceania. In order to protect its subscribers vis-à-vis the virus-spreading, hoax and spam e-mails, the e-NASS is strictly moderated while e-mails containing attachments are automatically removed. This e-network discourages commercial advertisements as well as it is essentially irrelevant to any form of activism or advocacy of any particular perspective. Thus, messages of discussions, demonstrations and calls to action are not permitted. When forwarding e-NASS announcements to your friends and other e-groups, signifying e-NASS as the source will be highly appreciated as extent of your courtesy.
