2 Stephan Klasen Fellowships

for postdoctoral researchers in development economics from low- and middle-income

countries.

Prof. Dr. h.c. Stephan Klasen, Ph.D. is a German development economist who has made
lasting contributions on the economics of poverty, inequality and gender in low- and middle-
income countries. The Stephan Klasen Fellowship was established by the University of
Göttingen on the occasion of Stephan Klasen’s farewell lecture to honor his achievements for
development economics research in Göttingen and his commitment for the training of young
scholars. The fellowship period is April 1st, 2021 through March 31st, 2022. Fellows are
expected to relocate to Göttingen for the period of the fellowship.

The fellowship will be advertised annually in the spring with an anticipated start date in
September. This year’s advertisement is delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The exact
start date is subject to current visa and travel restrictions.

Candidates from low- and middle-income countries according to the OECD DAC list are
eligible to apply. Candidates are further required to hold a PhD in development economics (or
similar) before the start date of the fellowship. At least one of the two fellowships will be
awarded to a female candidate. Disabled persons with equivalent aptitude will be favored.
The university has committed itself to being a family-friendly institution and supports their
employees in balancing work and family life.
