First Ukrainian Studies Graduate School in Germany starting in spring 2025
Starting in spring 2025, the KIU Graduate School will offer up to 9 funded and 6 associated positions for PhD students in the field of Ukrainian Studies. The programme is tailored to early career researchers from various disciplines such as history, cultural studies, political science, sociology, economics, law, conflict studies, or similar fields.
The graduate school intends to train a new generation of scholars who will dedicate their PhD to an entangled understanding of Ukraine within its multiple historical, political, and institutional layers. Utilizing the network of Berlin-Brandenburg universities, the proposed thematic corridors advance the respective disciplines represented in the KIU Graduate Programme, while suggesting a new global direction in the area of Ukrainian Studies. The programme is supported and supervised by professors of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
The programme will start in April 2025 and continue for three years. Within these 36 months, KIU scholarship holders will receive a stipend of monthly 1.300 Euro. The deadline for proposal submission is 9 February 2025.
The graduate programme is part of the Competence Network Interdisciplinary Ukrainian Studies Frankfurt (Oder) – Berlin which is led by the European University Viadrina and includes Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, the Centre for East European and International Studies (ZOiS), the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities Berlin and the Wissenschaftskolleg Berlin.
