Junior Fellows

Our doctoral candidates are called Junior Fellows. Currently 81 Junior Fellows from more than 30 African, American, Asian and European countries are pursuing their doctoral projects with BIGSAS. Below you can take a look at every Junior Fellow's research interests and doctoral project. Feel free to email a Junior Fellow in case you are interested in pursuing a similar project.

Our Junior Fellows are represented by two Junior Fellow Representatives (who are Junior Fellows themselves), plus one Representative for the Junior Fellows in Cluster projects.
