Chaire Marc Bloch

As part of the agreement with the EHESS and the Université de Strasbourg, respectively, a tender for applications is opened each year within these two institutions for hosting a teacher-researcher invited to the CMB in the field of the humanities and the social sciences, for either the winter or the summer semester. The CMB is seeking to extend this arrangement so as to include other institutions.

These Chaires Marc Bloch include the obligation to offer a course or seminar (two hours on a weekly basis, preferably in German or English) at the Humboldt Universität or at another university in Berlin, as well as to participate in research and training research activities at the CMB, within a research group at one of our four Research Poles: État, normes et conflits politiques/  The State, Political Norms and Conflicts; Mobilités, Migrations, Recompositions des espaces / Mobilities, Migrations, Reconfiguring Spaces;  Dynamiques et expériences de la globalisation / Dynamics and Experiences of Globalization; and  Pensées critiques au pluriel. Approches conceptuelles de la recherche en sciences sociales / Critical Thinking in the Plural. Conceptual Approaches to Social Science Research.

The incumbent of each Chaire will benefit from a workspace, and the Centre Marc Bloch’s infrastructure will be put at his/her disposal. In addition to reimbursing a return trip between France and Germany, the CMB will also assure a monthly allowance 1,500 €, related to subsistence expenses.

The tender for applications is launched in November/December of each year in each of the partner institutions. For further information on the application procedure, please contact the following persons directly:

For EHESS: Bénédicte Zimmermann (bzim[at]ehess.fr);

for the Université de Strasbourg: Florian Fritsch (florian.fritsch[at]unistra.fr)

The Centre Marc Bloch will submit all nominations to a Commission chaired by the CMB’s Vorstand comprising members of its Selection Committee.
