<p>The Hamburg Institute for Social Research is offering up to three scholarships for doctoral projects that seek to analyze empirical phenomena of monetary disorders with the aim of further developing debates on monetary theory. This call for proposals responds to developments in economic sociology, the history of capitalist cultures, political economy, and the anthropology of economic practices, in which modern economic forms are increasingly reflected upon as&nbsp;monetarized&nbsp;economies. All in all, these reflections are based on conceptual considerations on the question of what money actually is.&nbsp;</p><h2>Requirements:</h2><p>[1] The scholarships will be awarded for innovative project ideas that deal with empirical cases to critically engage in these theoretical debates and seek to articulate independent positions</p><p>[2] Proposals do not necessarily have to be premised on a preliminary decision as to whether money is to be addressed as a medium of exchange, as an &quot;absolute&quot; social means (of exchange)</p><p>[3] Research projects that can bridge the gap between theoretical debates on violence and analyses of monetary disorders are thus especially welcome</p><p>[4] Applicants must have an above-average degree in sociology, history, cultural studies, political science, economics, or a related discipline</p><p>[5] Proposals should focus on studying empirical phenomena that have not yet been considered by research or be dedicated to re-visiting previously explored issues and empirical evidence with new theoretical equipment</p><h2>Value of scholarship:</h2><p>The scholarships carry a monthly stipend of &euro;1,400 Euro. Scholarship recipients will receive supplements for one or more children and may be eligible for further supplements. Scholarship-financed research projects at the Hamburg Institute for Social Research come with an additional budget for travel, books, and other research-related expenses that are appropriate to the requirements of the respective project. A workplace will be provided, and regular presence at the Institute is expected for the duration of the scholarship.</p><h2>About Hamburg Institute for Social Research:</h2><p>Hamburg Institute for Social Research (HIS) was established in 1984.

This includes the Library, which is open to the public, and the Archives, which house holdings that are unique in Germany. The core of the Institute&rsquo;s activities, however, is research, which is committed to dialogue in the humanities and social sciences.
