[Wigsat-l] Scholarship program: Migration, Development and the Environment

[Sophia Huyer]

Dear Sir or Madam,

The ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius is one of the major private
foundations in Germany sponsoring academic research. Among other things,
it founded and continues to financially support the Bucerius Law School
, a Hamburg-based private law school that combines innovation in
teaching with renowned research. Since 2008 the ZEIT-Stiftung has been
re-focusing its scholarship programs on migration and urban studies.

Part of this reorientation is "Settling Into Motion" -- The Bucerius
Ph.D. Scholarships in Migration Studies. The scholarship program started
last year and hosts currently 14 international fellows. It seeks to
address the ongoing transformations in societies where migration is just
one factor among others generating change. For 2009 proposals studying
"Migration, Development and the Environment" are especially welcome.

Within this international program, the ZEIT-Stiftung grants six to eight
Ph.D. scholarships per year. Applicants must be Ph.D. students of -- in
a broad sense -- social sciences. The scholarships involve a monthly
stipend of 1.200 Euros as well as yearly conferences and workshops. The
deadline for applications is 25 February 2009.

Please find enclosed the second call for applications (pdf file and text
file). May I ask you for your collaboration in bringing the program to
the attention of suitable candidates? Further information can be found
under www.settling-into-motion.de or requested by email:

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thank
you very much for your help and consideration!

Yours sincerely
