Application Procedure

The application process for the three year-doctoral program starting in the
academic year 2020/21 is now open. Applications for doctoral grants (funded
by the University or DAAD-GSSP for three years, respectively) and doctoral
memberships (Promotionsplätze) for candidates with third-party funding
starting in the academic year 2020/21 can be submitted via our application
platform from September 2019 until the deadline, November 30, 2019.
Applicants will have to upload the documents listed below and can either
prepare their application dossiers offline or (in several steps) online.
Please note that only projects related to the field of North American
Studies can be considered (i.e. the dissertation has to relate to the U.S.
and/or Canada). We will be glad to answer any further questions via email.

 

GSNAS now invites applications for 6 three-year doctoral scholarships as
well as additional doctoral memberships for candidates with third-party
funding. The deadline for applications is November 30, 2019.

 

Doctoral memberships are available for candidates who have already
successfully applied for third-party funding by a funding agency (e.g.
foundation) as part of a competitive application process. The aim of the
third-party funding must be related to the financial support of academic
research. The funding period should not be less than 36 months. Please note
that we do not offer the possibility of a self-funded dissertation.

 

If you are currently pursuing a PhD and are interested to join GSNAS as a
visiting doctoral researcher, please send an email to
visitingresearcher at gsnas.fu-berlin.de
<mailto:visitingresearcher at gsnas.fu-berlin.de> .

 

The following documents will have to be included in the online application.
You will find all relevant details on the specificities (length, file size,
etc,) of the documents listed below after registering on our application
platform. We therefore kindly ask you to refrain from inquiries on
application documents before accessing the online application form:
https://www.drs.fu-berlin.de/user/register?field_i_want_to=4 

 

You can revise your application before submitting the complete application
dossier and hence complete the application process in several steps. Please
note that the referees who are supposed to submit a reference letter will
not be informed before the application has been submitted. Deadline for the
upload of reference letters is December 15, 2019.

1.	A Curriculum Vitae (in English)
2.	A Statement of Purpose of approx. 2 pages (in English)
3.	Copies of Earned Degrees/Diplomas/Graduation Certificates (High
School, BA, MA, etc.)
Please note: Applicants who have not obtained their MA/MSc degree by the
deadline must provide a transcript of records specifying that the coursework
for the master's degree has been completed. In addition, applicants must
provide a written confirmation that the MA/MSc thesis has been submitted.
The final grade of the MA thesis/program must be sent to the attention of
the GSNAS office before the interviews. The official diploma for the final
degree (MA, MSc) must be submitted no later than May 31, 2020 in order to
ensure the admission by the respective school/department (Fachbereich).
4.	An Outline of the Dissertation Project of 8-10 pages (in English)
5.	A work plan/timeline (in English)
6.	A Writing Sample based on a chapter of the M.A. thesis or an already
published journal article (in English or German)
7.	Proof of Language Proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS, CAS, CPE)
All applicants who are neither native English speakers nor have earned a
degree at a university with English as language of instruction are required
to submit certification of their English proficiency: minimum TOEFL scores
of 600 (paper-based), 250 (computer-based) and 100 (internet-based) or
equivalent minimum CAE (A and B), CPE (A, B, C) or IELTS (7.0) scores. A
degree in North American Studies or English Language and Literature, earned
at a German university is not sufficient as a proof of English language
skills. It will only be accepted if the entire curriculum was taught in
English. In addition, stays/semesters abroad will not be accepted as a
substitute for a language test.
8.	Two Recent Letters of Reference (to be uploaded separately by the
respective referee until Dec 15, 2019)

 

We will confirm receipt of your application by e-mail.

 

Reapplications: Please note that reapplication is only possible on the basis
of a thoroughly revised outline of the dissertation project. Reapplications
containing an outline which is identical with the previous one will not be
taken into consideration.
