Supporting junior researchers in the GPJE

Within the GPJE, more than 70 junior rese­ar­chers, pre­do­mi­nantly PhD can­di­da­tes and a few post­docs, are orga­ni­zed. The junior rese­ar­chers orga­nize recur­rent con­fe­ren­ces (curr­ently twice a year) as well as aca­de­mic publi­ca­ti­ons of their own. Obviously, junior rese­ar­chers also pre­sent their work at the annual con­fe­rence and at the working group con­fe­ren­ces of the GPJE.

In addi­tion, the junior rese­ar­chers fur­ther coor­di­nate their own mai­ling list in order to inform about cur­rent pro­jects, job adver­ti­se­ments and CfPs in the field of civic edu­ca­tion. Ques­ti­ons con­cer­ning the junior rese­ar­chers in the GPJE may be sent to the junior rese­ar­chers‘ repre­sen­ta­tive who also ser­ves as their repre­sen­ta­tive in the Mana­ging Com­mit­tee of the GPJE, Elia Sca­ra­muzza (scaramuzza@politik.uni-mainz.de).

Joi­ning the GPJE as a junior researcher

Junior rese­ar­chers working in the field of civic edu­ca­tion may be admit­ted as mem­bers of the GPJE. Future junior rese­arch mem­bers need proof of a doc­to­ral dis­ser­ta­tion in the field of civic edu­ca­tion (cf. sta­tu­tes of the GPJE), e.g. a let­ter from the super­vi­sing pro­fes­sor. Junior rese­ar­chers pay a redu­ced annual mem­ber­ship fee (35 €).

If you want to apply for a GPJE mem­ber­ship, please use this appli­ca­tion form (Ger­man version).

Conferences and publications 

Twice a year, the junior rese­ar­chers of the GPJE orga­nize peer con­fe­ren­ces at dif­fe­rent uni­ver­si­ties. One day prior to the annual GPJE con­fe­rence, junior rese­ar­chers usually meet to dis­cuss cur­rent (PhD) pro­jects. Moreo­ver, they usually hold ano­ther con­fe­rence with a distinct sub­ject mat­ter in Febru­ary. A num­ber of publi­ca­ti­ons have ori­gi­na­ted from these conferences.
