GHI Doctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowships

The GHI awards short-term fellowships to European and North American doctoral students as well as postdoctoral scholars to pursue research projects that draw upon primary sources located in the United States. We are particularly interested in research projects that fit into the following fields: German and European history, the history of German-American relations, and the role of Germany and the USA in international relations. These fellowships are also available to European doctoral students and postdoctoral scholars in the field of American history. The proposed research projects should make use of historical methods and engage with the relevant historiography.

 

The fellowships are  granted for periods of one to five months. The monthly stipend is € 1,700 for doctoral students and € 3,000 for postdoctoral scholars from European institutions; students and scholars based at North American institutions will receive a stipend of $1,900 or $3,200 respectively.

 

The next deadline for applications is October 1, 2016. Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a copy of your last diploma, project description (no more than 2,000 words), research schedule for the fellowship period, and at least one letter of reference (sent separately). Please send applications electronically as a PDF to fellowships@ghi-dc.org.
