The Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research in Braunschweig, Germany, is pleased to announce the 2015/2016 Georg Arnhold Visiting Research Professorship in Education for Sustainable Peace.

The Visiting Research Professorship aims to promote research into education for sustainable peace. Its focus lies particularly on educational media and curricula at secondary school level in post-conflict or transitional societies. The appointment is for a three- to six-month research stay in Braunschweig and offers distinguished scholars from the humanities, political and social sciences, education sciences or law the opportunity to conduct research projects or to finish major publications without teaching or administrative obligations. The professorship is endowed with a monthly stipend of up to 6,500 euro and round trip airfare to Germany as well as research and administrative assistance.

Applicants must demonstrate outstanding professional achievement in their fields, should hold a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline and have excellent knowledge of English. Individuals with extensive high-level international experience in government or non-governmental organizations or in international organizations may also apply. In exceptional cases, the Georg Eckert Institute will consider applications from practitioners who do not hold a Ph.D. but who have at least five years of advanced professional experience in the area of peace education and who can demonstrate that their work and/or research projects have made an exceptional impact in the field of peace education.

The application must include a cover letter providing evidence of the quality of the candidate’s scholarship and expertise, a description of the research project or book the candidate wishes to work on, a full CV, a sample of the applicant’s current scholarly writing (a book chapter or article) and a completed application form.
