Project description
Academic and non-academic partnerships elevate social sciences doctoral studies
The Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS) is one of Germany’s leading higher education institutions for doctoral training in the social sciences. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the BIGSSS-departs project will support fellows in the fields of political science, sociology and psychology. BIGSSS-departs will develop curricula tailored to the fellows’ interests, providing close supervision of well-designed projects. The fellows will conduct outstanding research, present their projects at international conferences and workshops, network with world-class partner institutions and participate in a stay abroad at partner facilities. Overall, BIGSSS-departs will nurture a new cohort of highly qualified researchers in the social sciences.
Objective
BIGSSS-departs (BIGSSS Doctoral Education in Partnerships) offers doctoral studies in a program that combines close supervision of dissertation work with demand-tailored education, both embedded in a vibrant research landscape at the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS). The core disciplines comprise political science, sociology, and psychology. Program participants will follow a 42 months structured curriculum including a stay abroad at an external academic partner institution or with an external non-academic partner. BIGSSS has gathered a network of some of the most prestigious international social science partner organizations. With features such as Career day or the Research day, a strong inter-sectorial exposure both in the partner network and with regards to the composition of the curriculum is an essentially new feature of BIGSSS-departs. Through a secure employment contract, the monthly pay in BIGSSS-departs will include health insurance and all German social security benefits already. Even though BIGSSS-departs is connected to a sole beneficiary (University of Bremen), it uses structures and resources of two universities.
