Research fellowships for international PhD students (IEG Mainz)
The Leibniz Institute of European History (IEG) awards Research fellowships for international PhD students for a research stay in Mainz beginning in January 2017 or later.
The IEG awards fellowships for international junior researchers in history, theology and other historical sub-jects. The IEG promotes research on the historical foundations of Europe from the early modern period to the 20th century, particularly regarding their religious, political and social dimensions. Projects dealing with European communication and transfer processes as well as projects focusing on questions related to theol-ogy, church history and intellectual history are particularly welcome.
What we offer:
Funding is currently EUR 1200/month. Research fellows live and work for between 6 and 12 months at the Insti-tute in Mainz and can pursue their individual PhD project. They are also invited to collaborate with the
aca-demic staff of the IEG, according to their particular fields of interest (http://www.ieg-mainz.de/en/research/research-program). Fellows live and work at the Institute and are advised by a men-tor from among the IEG’s academic staff. The IEG’s specialised library and the wider academic infrastruc-ture of Mainz are available for their research.
Requirements:
Applications are invited from doctoral candidates of any nationality.
Applicants must already have a degree in history, theology or another historical subject. They should not have pursued their PhD project for more than three years when taking up the fellowship. PhD theses continue to be supervised and are completed under the auspices of the fellows’ home universities. Fellows are required to register officially as residents in Mainz and to reside and take part in events at the Institute. They should have a sufficient command of German in order to participate in discussions at the Institute. Fellows are not permitted to undertake paid work while receiving the IEG scholarship.
