The German Historical Institute, Washington, DC, is now accepting applications for a 6- to 12-month Fellowship in The History of Religion and Religiosity. Potential projects could focus on (but are not limited to) the following areas: The history of any specific religious group or groups in Germany or North America, transnational religious networks and/or the transfer of certain religious belief systems across the Atlantic, and the history of German or American religious leaders. The focus of the proposed research projects should be historical rather than theological in nature and it is essential that they make use of historical methods and engage with the relevant historiography. The fellowship term begins September 1, 2017.

The fellowship is open to both doctoral and postdoctoral scholars. The monthly stipend is $1,900 for doctoral students and $ 3,200 for postdoctoral scholars. To apply please send a cover letter, a CV, a copy of your most recent diploma or transcripts, at least one letter of reference (sent separately), a research project proposal (5-pages or 2,000 words max), and a research schedule for the fellowship period, no later than December 1, 2016. PApplications should be sent electronically as single PDF via e-mail to Bryan Hart at fellowships@ghi-dc.org.
