Scholar in Residence at the MPIfG

Every year, the MPIfG invites a distinguished scholar in the field of political science, economics, or sociology to spend three to six months at the Institute.

Scholars in Residence are known for their outstanding academic achievements and pursue a particular research project that coincides with the research conducted at the MPIfG. Scholars in Residence are selected by the directors on the basis of an established record of excellence as well as a current research project in an area related to the core interests of researchers at the Institute. Both nominations and direct applications are possible.
