Do your PhD with us

The Berlin Graduate School for Global and Transregional Studies (BGTS) is the graduate school of the Cluster of Excellence SCRIPTS and offers a structured 3-year doctoral programme. The programme is located at Freie Universität Berlin (FU) in cooperation with Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU), WZB Social Science Center, the Hertie School, and the other partner institutions of SCRIPTS in Berlin.

Join us as a Postdoctoral Researcher

If you have recently finished your PhD in one of the fields relevant to the research of SCRIPTS and want to undertake your own research project that connects to one of the long or midterm SCRIPTS projects, come to Berlin and join us as a postdoctoral researcher. We have regular calls in the SCRIPTS projects and for the two-year SCRIPTS IRC fellowships.

Join us as a Visiting Researcher (on all Career Levels)

SCRIPTS offers different fellowship programmes for researchers on all career levels. PhD, postdoctoral and senior researchers working on projects related to the Research Units or projects of SCRIPTS are welcome to spend between one and twelve months with us in Berlin.
