The international doctoral programme “Rethinking Environment” at the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Augsburg and LMU Munich has been extended for four years
Following successful evaluation by an international expert committee, twelve new graduate positions have been funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts, with the call for applications already advertised. Twenty-one professors researching and teaching in the environmental humanities at the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Augsburg and Ludwig-Maximilians Universit?t in Munich are looking forward to receiving applications from early career researchers in the humanities and social sciences.
The aim of the doctoral programme is to enrich and expand research on the social-ecological transformation through innovative and interdisciplinary perspectives and questions. Examples of this in the current funding period range from a dissertation on glacial poetics (American studies) to work on historical drill cores in the Belgium archives (Environmental History) to an investigation of reforestation projects in the Philippines (Ethnology). Several projects are based in the Augsburg-Munich region and deal with questions of mobility, environmental education, and participation in the context of the social-ecological transformation. Twenty early career researchers are currently conducting research as part of the “Rethinking Environment” doctoral programme.
From autumn 2025, participating disciplines include:
Seven of the four-year positions will be based at the Environmental Studies Center at the 威尼斯赌博游戏_威尼斯赌博app-【官网】 of Augsburg, while five will be based at the Rachel Carson Center at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit?t in Munich. The second round of funding begins on the 1st of October 2025.
