About the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship The Center for Autonomy Experience, a center of Eurac Research, invites researchers to apply for the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action Postdoctoral Fellowship with us as their host institution. The supervisors would be Katharina Crepaz and Josef Prackwieser. The field of research can be in political science, history, law, philosophy, sociology, anthropology. Eurac Research offers comprehensive support to ensure that your application stands out. About us The Center for Autonomy Experienceis an interdisciplinary center of Eurac Research dedicated to the analysis and communication of South Tyrolean autonomy and minority protection in the present and past. We also work on related topics such as intersectionality, gender issues and minority media. As an interface between science, politics and society, we promote exchange and strengthen the transfer of knowledge at local and international levels. About the research topic The Second Statute of Autonomy created a new legal framework within which it was possible to establish, at least in some areas an autonomous social system, in the fields of health care, social services and welfare and social housing. The opportunity to build private housing with the generous support of the province led to a high rate of home ownership among South Tyroleans, and laid the foundation for wealth creation in a region that was still very poor and threatened by emigration. As the recent discussion about "brain drain" shows, housing and social policies still play a core role in securing the future of the region's economy and, ultimately, also of its minority population. Social policy can therefore also be regarded as proactive minority protection and a measure to ensure economic stability for the future. We welcome project ideas on South Tyrol's social autonomy, focusing on political developments, or specific policy areas, possibly also in comparison to other European minorities. Who should join We are looking for PhD holders with a maximum of 8 years of research experience (full-time equivalent), who have not been resident in Italy for more than 12 months in the last 3 years immediately prior to the call deadline (10 September 2025), and who are interested in submitting a proposal related to the above research topics or their own, provided that it is in line with our areas of expertise.
