The University of Potsdam, DFG Research Training Group on “Wicked Problems, 
Contested Administrations: Knowledge, Coordination, Strategy” (WIPCAD) calls 
for applications:



Doctoral and Qualifying Fellowships in Public Administration



The Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Potsdam is 
calling for applications for its DFG Research Training Group on “Wicked 
Problems, Contested Administrations: Knowledge, Coordination, Strategy” 
(WIPCAD). 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. 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. Proficiency in English is required.



Up to 8 Doctoral Fellowships

Applicants must hold a Diploma or a Master’s degree in political and 
administrative sciences, sociology or public management. In exceptional cases, 
graduates with degrees from closely related fields may be considered. Key 
selection criteria are the quality of the PhD proposal, its fit with the 
overall thematic agenda of the Research Training Group, its innovative 
potential and its likely contribution to the state of knowledge in public 
administration.

Doctoral fellows will receive a monthly scholarship of € 1365 for up to 36 
months, contingent on successful completion of each year.



1 Qualifying Fellowship

We also provide one scholarship for a qualifying fellow for a one year period 
with a monthly scholarship of € 800. This fellowship is targeted at excellent 
BA students or students of German universities of applied sciences with clear 
academic potential.



Doctoral and qualifying fellowships will start October 1, 2012. Applications 
should be submitted by March 30, 2012 via e-mail to 
application@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:application@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. 
International students are strongly encouraged to apply.



The Faculty strives to increase the share of women in the university and hence 
strongly encourages women to apply. Applicants with disabilities who are 
equally qualified will be favored.



Applicants with alternative sources of funding are welcome. Please consult the 
following website for further information prior to completing your application:
