Job offers & Information for prospective students
We publish job offers and funded Master’s and Doctorate projects on the platform of the Leibniz-IZW and advertise them here and on Twitter. But we also welcome ‘spontaneous’ applications. So feel free to get in touch!
We currently have no position opening in our team.
If you would want to become a member of our team, we invite you to first review the content of our website, especially the section “Our discoveries” and our blog, and to read some of the papers that members of the team have published (see our list of Publications).

Particular attention will be paid to your ability to communicate in English. So make sure to polish your email :0)!
Please note that for administrative reasons we do not provide positions for field-based internships, assistantships or research projects to Master’s students that are not Tanzanian citizens. There is however the possibility for non-Tanzanian doctoral students and post-doctoral collaborators to conduct field work in Tanzania.

- Clearly state your field(s) of interest, what conceptual or practical expertise you have in those fields, and why you want to join our team;
- Include the reference (why not even the abstract) to key publications you may have produced;
