CALL for NOMINATIONS: Kohli Fellowships 2024
The Kohli Fellowship for Sociology promotes researchers who have finished their dissertation with
excellent success. It offers researchers a two-year research stay at a prestigious research institution to
engage in a new research project, to advance publications, and to develop research collaborations.
The Kohli Fellowships are sponsored by the Kohli Foundation for Sociology.
In 2024, the Kohli Fellow is invited to conduct their research at the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB).
The WZB offers a vibrant academic environment and excellent research conditions. The WZB is a publicly
funded institution for problem-oriented basic social science research. It is a member of the Leibniz Asso-
ciation and one of the leading institutions for social science research in Europe. Around 200 researchers from various disciplines collaborate at the WZB, mainly from sociology, political science, economics, and
law. They are supported by around 150 staff members in administration, IT, scientific information & data, and communication. The results of WZB research are addressed to the scientific community, to experts
and decision-makers in politics, business and society, to the media and the interested public.
The Kohli Fellowship for Sociology is remunerated with a competitive stipend and family benefits. The re-
search stay at the WZB begins on October 1, 2024.
