The Department of Social Anthropology accepts candidates for post-doctoral research that falls within the research areas of faculty members’ interests and fields of specialization, and is considered to have the potential to make an original contribution. The Departmental Assembly decides if an application meets the specified requirements for post-doctoral research. Once an application is approved, a faculty member with a compatible field of specialization is appointed as post-doctoral advisor.

University financial support for post-doctoral research is not available, although post-doctoral researchers may participate in funded research programs.
