Call
In the DFG Research Training Group "Organizing Architectures" (3022), in which the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, the Technical University of Darmstadt, the University of Kassel and the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory are involved, 12 positions for doctoral students are to be filled as of 01.11.2026. The positions are limited to three years – with the option of extension for a further year.
Application deadline: 7.4.2026.
The interdisciplinary and international Research Training Group enables multi-perspective work that addresses the tension between architectural production and social processes. The basis of this work is a broad understanding of the concept of architecture, which includes not only individual buildings but also urban ensembles and infrastructures, and architectures as discursive, symbolic, and built spaces of organizational structures. Research fellows are accompanied by an intensive support structure, regular colloquia for exchange, and a varied workshop program.
We welcome doctoral projects in the fields represented by the research group: architecture and art history, media and history studies, law, sociology, human geography, political science, architecture, and urban planning.
