The GHI in cooperation with the BMW Center at Georgetown University is now offering German and North American scholars the opportunity to develop binational research tandems which link up two academics to work on projects on the history of knowledge, ideally ones which focus on the development of transatlantic perspectives on the issues they examine, and contain productive areas of overlap either in their topics or in their conceptual frameworks. The program is designed for postdoctoral, mid-career, and established historians. In order to ensure successful collaboration, our preference is for applicants to already have identified their potential tandem partner. Funding will be provided for a 9-month stay at the GHI. The monthly stipend will be between 3.000 and 6.000 Euro per month (or the equivalent in USD) depending on the academic status.

The next deadline for applications is August 1, 2017 for a fellowship starting in September 2018. To apply, please send a cover letter, a CV, a copy of the certificate of your most recently achieved qualification, a research project proposal (5 pages or 2,000 words max), a one-page proposal for a conference or workshop, two samples of your academic writing, and the names and contact details of two referees to fellowships@ghi-dc.org
