Why
Apply to the Max Weber Programme
- The Max
Weber Programme (MWP) at the European University Institute (EUI) is the
largest and most innovative postdoctoral programme in the historical and
social sciences in Europe.
- The MWP
is open to eligible applicants who are within 5 years from the
completion of their PhD, from anywhere in the world, regardless of nationality
and including non-EU citizens.
- The
MWP is a global programme at a global institution located in
Italy. Like the Fellows, Professors and Researchers at the European
University Institute come from across Europe – from Portugal to Russia,
and beyond it – from Asia and the Antipodes to North and Latin
America, contributing their different academic traditions to the
distinctive mix of the Institute. The language of the programme is English.
- The
Programme is among the most selective – attracting
circa 1200 applicants each year – in
the fields of political and social sciences, economics, law and history
for some 55-60 Fellowships.
- The
Programme awards 1, 2, and exceptionally 3 year long fellowships according to
departments.
- The Max
Weber Fellows enjoy the superb research facilities of the European
University Institute (including an outstanding library, a shared office
space, and a personal research fund of 1000 euros).
- The MWP
is unique among postdoctoral programmes in helping Fellows to become full
members of a global academic community.
- Its
placement record is second to none: most Max Weber Fellows secure an
academic position in the finest institutions around the world upon
completion of the Programme.
