PhD in Between The Times Phd

How does the human experience of time shape our political imagination? The Between the Times project confronts this fundamental inquiry by examining the embattled temporalities of inter-war Europe, moving beyond traditional narratives of progress to explore alternative ways of thinking and speaking politically. This doctoral position, funded by the European Research Council, invites scholars to join an interdisciplinary team at Tallinn University's School of Humanities.

• Professional Development: Comprehensive support for international research travel, conference attendance, and publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Beyond academic research and dissertation writing, students are encouraged to engage in teaching and public outreach, contributing to a vibrant, international scholarly community based in Tallinn.
