Ten part-time (65%) Doctoral Researcher positions are available at the University of Greifswald's interdisciplinary International Research Training Group "Baltic Peripeties. Narratives of Reformations, Revolutions and Catastrophes". Application deadline: 30-11-2023

The International Research Training Group (IRTG) explores narratives and narrative constructions of the Baltic Sea region at the University of Greifswald, NTNU Trondheim and the University of Tartu. This programme brings together history, linguistics, literary and media studies, philosophy, and political science. By utilising the concept of 'peripety', the network currently focuses, among other topics, on political turning points and crises, effects of the war and the pandemic on the Baltic Sea region, as well as natural hazard events such as storm floods.

Doctoral researchers benefit from a structured qualification programme as well as tri-national workshops and conferences in Greifswald, Trondheim and Tartu, which facilitate the acquisition of specialised knowledge about the Baltic Sea region and important interdisciplinary and intercultural competences.

The fixed-term positions are limited at the earliest from 1 April 2024 until 30 September 2025 with a planned extension for an additional 1.5 years.
