International PhD Program ”Democracy, Knowledge, and Gender in a Transnational World“ (IPP Transnational) Commencing on April 1, 2013, at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main


The DAAD-funded International PhD Program Transnational at the Faculty of Social 
Sciences is now accepting applications for the summer term 2013. The program 
offers a structured, three-year period of research at a high academic level to 
graduates of sociology, political science, and anthropology. PhD candidates will 
profit from an intellectually stimulating and supporting infrastructure that includes 
special counseling, intense academic supervision, and participation in the ”Forum 
Transnational“ with international visiting scholars as well as methods and theory 
workshops tailored to the needs of the participants. In addition, doctoral candidates 
will receive support in applying for scholarships and in career planning. Special 
funding is available for research periods abroad and networking with other PhD 
candidates in independent doctoral working groups (DocAGs). 
The IPP Transnational does not provide PhD scholarships.
The IPP’s profile combines three areas of research in a transnational perspective: 
1. Challenges and innovations of democracy 
2. Transformations of the gender order 
3. Biosciences and society 
Special German courses and supervision opportunities will be made available for 
international PhD candidates. The program’s working languages are English and 
German. 
The IPP Transnational cooperates with partner universities in Scandinavia, Great 
Britain, Switzerland, and the United States. 
Graduates of sociology, political science, and anthropology both from Germany and 
abroad can apply who have an above-average university degree (MA, first state 
examination, Magister, diploma, or the like) and a sound knowledge of English. In 
addition to the usual application documents (copy of the diploma, CV), applicants 
must submit a five-page PhD proposal, in either German or English, in line with the
IPP Transnational’s research design. Furthermore, the application shall include a
brief letter of motivation and two letters of reference. More detailed information on
