Doctoral Candidates

Although the IOS does support bachelor's and master's students through internships and the (co‑)supervision of final dissertations, the focus of its work in the promotion of young scholars lies in its measures to support doctoral candidates. The IOS employs doctoral candidates and integrates them into its research activities. Doctoral candidates from Germany and abroad who are not employed at the Institute are also given support in gaining scholarships for guest research stays at the IOS and in participating in projects at the Institute. The IOS organizes research colloquia, workshops for doctoral candidates, and summer schools for postgraduates. It also cooperates closely with the Graduate School for East and Southeast European Studies at the University of Regensburg and at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU Munich).

The following doctoral candidates are currently employed at the IOS:

  • Sandra Balck
  • Nikola Gajić
  • Olha Martyniuk (scholarship holder and member of the Graduate School): "Soldaten der Roten Armee: Darstellungen und Wahrnehmungen in der Ukraine seit 1991"
  • Sara Žerić: "Gastarbeiters" as Agents of Modernization in Socialist Yugoslavia

Doctoral researchers at the Leibniz ScienceCampus "Europe and America in the Modern World":

  • Jon Matlack: “Maneuvering toward ‘The West’: US Army-Bundeswehr Joint War Games as a Conduit for Western Identity Formation”
  • Cornelius Merz: “Exploring Identity and Belonging through Spatial Relations—A Comparative Study of Cleveland and Leipzig, 1890–1930”
  • Efthalia Prokopiou: “Notions of Home on the Far Right ‘White Genocide’ Narrative: A Multinational and Multilingual Approach to Contemporary Far Right Self-Representations in Europe and the Americas”
