As these positions are linked to specific supervisors, I am pleased to welcome applications in critical fashion studies.
Applicants from these field should indicate that they are applying for a position with me, “Prof. Dr. Elke Gaugele, Institute for Art Education”, as this is my area of expertise and I will be supervising their project. Dissertations are theory-/research based, written dissertations (PhD in Philosophy) and may be written in either English or German.
The application deadline is 13 April 2026, 13:00 (CEST).
Prospective applicants are also very welcome to get in touch with me briefly before submitting their application.

Best regards,
Elke Gaugele
