2013/2014 Mercator - Istambul Policy Center Fellowship (IPC Fellowship), Turkey

Mercator - Istambul Policy Center Fellowship is available for academics and professionals with an interest in Turkey to contribute in strengthening academic, political and social ties between Turkey and Germany, as well as between Turkey and Europe. Other areas of research supported by this fellowship are education and climate change. Description
Stiftung Mercator and Istanbul Policy Center at Sabancı University invite academics and professionals with an interest in Turkey to apply for a fellowship program that aims to strengthen academic, political and social ties between Turkey and Germany, as well as between Turkey and Europe. The program is based on the premise that in an increasingly globalized world, acquisition of knowledge and the exchange of people and ideas are preconditions for meeting the challenges of the 21st century.

Mercator – IPC Fellows work at Istanbul Policy Center (IPC), an independent policy research institute with global outreach located in the center of Istanbul. IPC’s mission is to foster academic research and its application to policy making. The Center is firmly committed to providing decision-makers, opinion leaders, academics and the general public with innovative and objective analyses of key domestic and foreign policy issues.

IPC offers the Mercator – IPC Fellows access to a broad network of academics, civil society activists and decision makers as well as a unique platform for sound academic research to shape hands-on policy work. Likewise, fellows profit from Sabancı University’s exceptional intellectual capital and vast reserves of scientific knowledge.

Eligibility
In the 2013/14 round, at least six Mercator – IPC Fellowships are available for outstanding young academics and professionals who have significant prior work experience. The fellows will be expected to work on academic or practical projects at IPC. A Master’s degree (or equivalent) is required for this position, but a PhD degree is strongly preferred. Applicants without a PhD degree will only be accepted if their work experience and expertise meet the program requirements to the jury’s satisfaction. Projects which focus on the German-Turkish nexus are likewise preferred. Applicants cannot apply for fellowships to fund their PhD dissertations.
