Hans Böckler Doctoral Fellowship
The Hans Boeckler Foundation (HBS) is pleased to announce the Hans
Boeckler Doctoral Fellowship for 2009-2010. In March a committee
will award one fellowship. The deadline for applications is February
15, 2009 .
PURPOSE
These residential fellowships will be awarded to graduate students
engaged in dissertation projects related to the Foundations research
and policy consulting program and to the on-going work of its
researchers. During their tenure fellows are expected to be in
residence in Duesseldorf and to participate actively in the
intellectual life of the Foundation.
The Hans-Boeckler-Foundation of the German Federation of Trade
Unions (DGB) promotes codetermination as a principle for designing a
democratic society. The HBS provides consulting services and
training for elected representatives of works councils, supervisory
board and staff representatives but also provides funding for some
1,600 university students. An important aspect of the Foundation’s
work is related to academic research in various fields of study.
Besides providing funding for external research, the HBS also
maintains two own research institutes, the Institute for Economic
and Social Research (WSI) and the Macroeconomic Policy Institute
(IMK). Research projects cover a broad range of issues and fields of
study. Among other aspects, research topics include welfare state
development, co-determination, macroeconomics and Eu! ropean
economic coordination, working time policy, collective bargaining,
work organization, labor market regulation, gender studies, regional
economic development, and the distribution of wealth and income. For
a summary of the Foundations and the WSI’s research profiles see

Working languages at the HBS are German and English.
