In conjunction with the Max Planck International Research Network on Aging (MaxNetAging), the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence (Max-Planck-InstitutI) seeks to appoint a doctoral and a postdoctoral fellowship to pursue studies in Art History with a focus on human aging starting in January 2012.

The program focuses on topics of aging ranging across the full spectrum of the behavioral and social sciences, biology, law and the humanities.

Each fellow enrolled in the MNARS will be affiliated with one participating Max Planck Institute. During the first six months of the MNARS all doctoral and postdoctoral fellows will study together at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock. Please visit www.maxnetaging.mpg.de for more information on the program and the participating Max Planck Institutes.
