1 Doctoral Position at MLU, Faculty of Law and Economics

Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), Faculty of Law and Economics, School of Law, Chair of German, European and International Public Law, offers a temporary position (up to 36 months) starting on 1 December 2024.

The position is a part-time employment (65 %). The salary will be up to pay group 13 TV-L (according to the collective wage agreement of the German federal states), if the personal requirements and tasks are fulfilled.

The position is part of the International Max Planck Research School “Global Multiplicity: A Social Anthropology for the Now“, a cooperation between the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Leipzig University and FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg.

The position is integrated within the research at the Chair of Prof. Dr. Dirk Hanschel at MLU on the topic of environmental justice and within the IMPRS-GM thematic group “Legal Complexity and Justice” which tackles complex global challenges such as environmental destruction, trans-border migration or digitalisation of legal thinking from the perspective of law and anthropology. These challenges can only be addressed through a multitude of perspectives, which look at the law in its social and cultural context. 

Within this framework the PhD project in the field of law shall take recourse to ethnographic methods and be
expressly designed in an interdisciplinary fashion. A thematic focus on questions of environmental justice, as they are currently examined at the Chair as well as the Max Planck Fellowship on “Environmental Rights in Cultural Context” is desirable. A high level of reflection and the openness for collaborative formats are required.
