The interdisciplinary Junior Research Group “The Fascination of Efficiency: Migrating Ideas and Emerging Bureaucracies in Europe and Asia since the Early Modern Era”, within the Cluster of Excellence “Asia and Europe in a Global Context, Shifting Asymmetries in Cultural Flows” at the University of Heidelberg welcomes applications for one Doctoral fellowship in Asian studies. This research group explores transcultural migrations of notions of order, bureaucratic efficiency and bureaucratic ethos and their realisation by the transfer of institutions between Europe and Asia from the age of Enlightenment till the early 20th century.

The candidates for the doctoral stipend should have an expertise in history, political science or sociology and should be able to read and communicate in English and German, and have language skills in modern Chinese and be able to read ancient Chinese (or another Asian language, depending on the individual research focus). Applicants are requested to send in project proposals in English relating to administrative reforms in Asia in the 19th and early 20th century. Project proposals should refer to the influence of European concepts of civil bureaucracy on these reforms (not military reforms).
Applications should also include a CV, a list of publications, teaching experiences and one letter of recommendation.

The amount of doctoral stipend is 1000 € per month and will be awarded for two years with possible renewal for a third year after a successful evaluation. The Positions would start on 1st of March 2009.

This announcement is addressed in equal measure to applicants with an European and an Asian background. The cluster strongly encourages the application of qualified women scholars. Handicapped persons with the same equivalent qualifications will be given preference. Detailed information about the Cluster’s aim and framework and the project can be found at www.asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de

Applications have to be submitted electronically by January 18th 2008 to:
