The ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius
requests applications for

6-8 Ph.D. Scholarships

in migration studies.

The Bucerius Ph.D. scholarship program in migration studies “Settling Into Motion” offers up to eight scholarships for Ph.D. theses addressing migration in changing societies.

For 2009 proposals studying “Migration, Development and the Environment” are especially welcome.

Migration is a double-edged sword: It generates remittances and some countries heavily depend on these transfers for their economic stability. At the same time, migration drains the highly qualified workforce in countries of origin thus weakening long-term development. Environmental degradation and climate change increasingly cause migration as exemplified by the plan of the Maldivian government to move its entire population should ocean levels rise further. On the other hand, large scale migration into camps and shanty towns further deteriorates the environment. Applications for scholarships under this topic would be encouraged to study the following aspects (but are not limited to these):

- Economic, social and cultural remittances
- Return migration
- Migration management including circular migration and other forms of temporary labour arrangements
- Immigration experiences of developing countries
- Migration-development nexus
- Climate change, environment and migration
- Environmental impact of migration
- Innovative approaches both in terms of subject matter and methodology are highly encouraged.

SCHOLARSHIP
- Monthly stipend of 1.200 Euros, additional funds for special research needs available on an individual basis.
- Scholarships are granted for 1 year. Given satisfactory progress the scholarship will be extended by another 2 years.
- Yearly conference.
- Yearly field trip on contemporary migration topic.
- Students communicate on a web-based platform and organize workshops supported by a program assistant.

Applicants must be Ph.D. students of – in a broad sense – social sciences.
Deadline 25 February 2009 for a stipend starting in August 2009.
Please apply online at www.settling-into-motion.de with Ph.D. proposal and two references.
