Short-term fellowship in Germany (Global South perspectives) April/May 2024

by NOC Anmeldung

Dear NoC-Colleagues, Please find enclosed the Call for Applications for the MEHUCO short-term fellowship. Some first information: The interdisciplinary project “Meaningful Human Control – Autonomous Weapon Systems between Regulation and Reflection” (MEHUCO) ( https://meaningfulhumancontrol.de/en/home/) connects five universities in Germany that aim to situate so far unconnected concepts of the controversy around Autonomous Weapon Systems (AWS) in their historical and cultural context. The main goals are to develop an appropriate concept of socio-material agency and to translate scientific results into public discourse in order to strengthen civil society debates. As part of the project, we are inviting fellows from the Global South to work with us on achieving the goals of the project. The idea of the fellowship is to strongly include a broad range of voices and positions in the discourse on autonomous weapons and to expand the scope of reflection on AWS. Time frame and funding The 4-week fellowship is compensated with 5.000 Euros. In addition, travel expenses will be covered. We will provide support in arranging accommodation and assist with the visa application and other bureaucratic processes. Fellows spend 4 weeks in Germany from the end of April 2024 to the end of May 2024. Fellows are expected to be on location for the whole duration of their stay. If you have any questions, please send an email to Christoph Ernst ( cernst(a)uni-bonn.de) and Thomas Christian Bächle (thomas.baechle(a)uni-bonn.de) Best wishes from Berlin and the HIIG! -- Alexander von Humboldt Institut für Internet und Gesellschaft gGmbH Französische Straße 9 · 10117 Berlin T +49 30 200 760 82 · F +49 30 206 089 60 · www.hiig.de <http://www.hiig.de> · Twitter <https://twitter.com/hiig_berlin> · Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/hiigberlin/> · LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/school/hiigberlin/> Gesellschaftssitz Berlin | Amtsgericht Berlin Charlottenburg | HRB 140911B | USt-ID DE 291 151 171 Forschungsdirektorium: Prof. Dr. Jeanette Hofmann (Geschäftsführung) · Prof. Dr. Björn Scheuermann · Prof. Dr. Dr. Thomas Schildhauer · Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schulz | Geschäftsführung: Dr. Karina Preiß
