柏林马克斯-普朗克科学史研究所 Graduate Student Fellowship（3月15日截止）

柏林马普所Dagmar Schäfer的部门推出了一个6个月的研究生驻留项目，名叫“First Research Article”，面向就读于亚洲、非洲、拉丁美洲地区学校，从事科技/医学史相关领域的研究生。时间是2020年9月1日至2021年2月28日。这个项目资助你来柏林马普所进行英文论文的写作，也就是说在收集好论文所需的一手材料后，来这里呆六个月，与马普所的学者交流，参加各种研究活动，同时完成文章，准备以英文发表。项目链接：https://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/news/first-research-article-fellowship-program-dept-iii 

柏林马普所在科学史界的地位不言而喻，最前沿的方法和课题都从这里产生，现在在世界各大科学史系任教的老师几乎都有马普所的研究经历。部门三的负责人Dagmar Schäfer是中国科学史的专家，去年刚刚来北大演讲，不过她的部门并不仅仅关注东亚，而是关注全球的科学史、知识史。我很喜欢她这个部门的方向，就是关注制作中、行动中的知识，继Daston等人带起来的图像热之后，实践和制作一定是科学史的下一个突破点。这次她主持的Fellowship项目专门面向亚非拉地区的学生，对国内同学是个很好的机会。Dagmar Schäfer的部门链接：https://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/dept-three

申请截止日期是3月15日，要求论文简介、CV、英文writing sample和导师推荐信等材料，具体可查看下面的英文版，或点击阅读原文。网页上特别提到欢迎女性申请人，姑娘们加油！
