DFG Research Training Group on Wicked Problems, Contested Administrations: Knowledge, Coordination, Strategy (WIPCAD)
The programme starts in October 2012 for a duration of 3 years.
The Research Training Group studies the interrelationships between ‘wicked’ policy problems and the development of administrative organizations, including inter-organizational settings. The research program is based on systematic interdisciplinary cooperation between political and administrative sciences, sociology and public management. It is underpinned by a qualification and gender equality concept that encourages junior scholars from both Germany and abroad to engage with neighboring disciplines; to ground their studies theoretically; to acquire the necessary research skills; to gain international experience; and to prepare them for future careers in academia and in the public sector. Up to eight Doctoral Fellowships
Scholarship recipients will participate in seminars and develop their own dissertation and research agenda within the scope of the qualification program. The language of instruction is English.
Doctoral fellows will receive a monthly scholarship of EUR 1365 for up to 36 months, contingent on successful completion of each year. Doctoral fellowships will start October 1, 2012. International students are strongly encouraged to apply.
