The “Justitia Center for Advanced Studies” aims to connect theoretical and methodological perspectives of different approaches on normative debates about the future of our societies. It has previously been funded by the Alfons and Gertrud Kassel-Stiftung and is now funded by the Professorship of Political Theory and Philosophy. Each year, the Center invites up to three postdoctoral researchers to join the academic community in Frankfurt and especially the Research Centre Normative Orders, to work on their innovative research projects. The fellows will be hosted by Goethe University Frankfurt at its Institute for Advanced Studies (Bad Homburg) (near Frankfurt). Candidates should have completed a doctorate in political theory/political philosophy and should have demonstrated potential to conduct and publish research at an international level. Candidates’ research should fall within the Center’s areas of focus, especially questions concerning the current crisis of democracy.
