The Max Planck Institute for European Legal History is announcing a series of scholarships they'll be awarding for the next academic year. They're offering both post-docs and research fellowships in European and Latin American legal history. Cribbing now from their announcement:
The Max Planck Institute for European Legal History (MPIeR) will be awarding several scholarships for a research stay at the institute in 2017.
Postdoc Scholarships enable highly qualified researchers from abroad who already obtained a PhD to either develop a new research topic in a thematically relevant context or to pursue an already existing project. Established researchers from abroad who have received their PhD more than 10 years ago can apply for a Research Scholarship, which enables them to come to the institute as a guest in order to pursue their own research project at the MPIeR.
For 2017 the research subjects are:
Department I – Professor Stefan Vogenauer
- Legal transfer in the common law world
- History of European Union Law
- Fundamental issues concerning legal reception
Department II – Professor Thomas Duve
- Legal history of Latin America in early modern and modern periods
- Methods of legal history in a global perspective
- Law and Diversity: legal historical perspectives
For a group of international researchers who already hold doctoral degrees and wish to pursue a joint research project, it is possible to jointly apply for scholarships at the MPIeR.
