Start-Up Scholarships of the Graduate School of Social Sciences – G3S

Basel

September 3, 2024

The Graduate School of Social Sciences (G3S) at the University of Basel provides the institutional framework for all graduate programs within the Department of Social Sciences. The working lan-guages of the school are English and German. We are advertising three start-up scholarships (30'000 CHF/12 months each) for the next academic year, beginning in April 2025. The start-up grants will be transferred to successful candidates in two installments of CHF 15'000 each; one in April 2025 and the second one in October 2025 after evaluation of the candidates' activities during the first six months.
Your position

The scholarships are meant to support graduates in the early stages of their Ph D, during which they will develop research proposals for submission to a funding body such as the Swiss National Science Foundation in order to acquire financial support for the remaining duration of their Ph D-projects. The payment of the second installment of the scholarship depends on the submission of such a funding proposal.
Candidates should be highly motivated to carry out an independent research project in an interdis-ciplinary environment and show a vivid interest in current debates of the social sciences.

Your profile

The scholarships are directed at students holding a Master's degree in one of the fields of G3S (with a final degree of at least 5.0 according to the Swiss grading system). Doctoral students in the G3S should have a background in a discipline of the Department of Social Sciences (e.g. anthropolo-gy, cultural anthropology, middle eastern studies, political science, sociology, gender studies, see also: g3s.unibas.ch). They may likewise be trained in interdisciplinary fields also represented at G3S:


  • Ph D Program Gender Studies: genderstudies.unibas.ch
  • Centre for African Studies: zasb.unibas.ch
  • MUBIT: Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies: nahoststudien.unibas.ch
  • Ph D Program Science of Religion: religionswissenschaft.unibas.ch
  • International Graduate School North-South: igs-north-south.ch
  • Sustainability Research: nachhaltigkeit.unibas.ch
  • Ph D Program Cultural Anthropology:
kulturwissenschaft.unibas.ch/studium/studienangebot/promotion

Suitable dissertation projects must analyze current dynamics of social change. We are preferably calling for projects focusing on one or more of the following topics: Conflicts – Migration – Re-sources.
