Doctoral Program: Landscape Archaeology and Architecture Advertisement
of One Scholarship for Doctoral Studies (2022-2026)
The Graduate School Scholarship Program (GSSP) of the German Academic Exchange Service
(DAAD) is offering one doctoral scholarship to carry out a doctorate within the framework of
“Landscape Archaeology and Architecture” (LAA) program. We welcome applications from
highlyqualified graduates from the fields of Prehistoric Archaeology, Classical Archaeology, Near
Eastern Archaeology, Ancient Oriental Studies, Egyptology and Northeast African Archaeology,
or Geoscience with a focus on Landscape Archaeology. Candidates must hold an outstanding
Master's degree (M.A., MSt, and MSc) in one of the aforementioned subjects or be very close
to completion.
The focus of the doctoral program "Landscape Archaeology and Architecture" is not on the
archaeology of specific regions, or spaces, but rather on the spectrum of methods and research
strategies applied in the study of landscape archaeology and architectural history. We
encourage candidates whose doctoral projects would fit within this broad framework to submit
their applications. We will welcome in particular projects dealing with the interconnection of
landscape and economy but we are also open for projects focusing on cultural anthropology and
social archaeology.
The scholarship is available from 1 October 2022 up to four years (subject to a satisfactory annual
progress review).
This call is open only to applicants who are not German citizens, and who have not resided in
Germany continuously for longer than 12 months as of the application deadline. The last final
examination (Master's Degree) must have been completed no more than 6 years ago,
calculated from the date of our nomination of the candidate to the DAAD. (= at the latest in
June 2016).
In accordance with DAAD guidelines, doctoral scholarship holders receive a basic monthly stipend
of 1,200 Euros, a travel allowance, a combined health, accident and liability insurance policy,
allowances for study and research (and, where applicable, rent and family allowances) as well as
financial support for a pre-sessional German language course.
