The Kohli Fellowship for Sociology promotes researchers who have successfully finished their dissertation with excellent success. It provides financial support for a two-year postdoctoral stay at the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB) starting October 2024.

This time should be used to engage in a new research project, to advance publications, and to develop research collaborations. As Kohli Fellow at the WZB you will form part of a vibrant intellectual community and participate in the scholarly life of your host research unit.

We particularly welcome research projects with a focus on life course and generational issues – but other topics are equally considered.
