Aktuality

The Leibniz Institute of European History (IEG) awards 8–10 fellowships for international doctoral students in European history, the history of religion, historical theology, or other historical disciplines.

The IEG funds PhD projects on European history from the early modern period until 1989/90. We are particularly interested in projects:

• with a comparative or cross-border approach,

• on European history in its relation to the wider world, or

• on topics of intellectual and religious history.

The IEG Fellowships provide a unique opportunity for doctoral students to pursue their individual PhD project while living and working for 6–12 months at the Institute in Mainz. The monthly stipend is € 1,800.

During the fellowship you are required to reside at the Institute in Mainz, actively participate in the IEG's research community and the weekly colloquia and present your work at least once during your fellowship. Applicants must have completed their doctorate no more than three years before taking up the fellowship. Proficiency in English and a sufficient command of German is expected in order to participate in discussions at the Institute.

The application details are described in this document. More information can be found on this website.

Application deadline: October 15, 2021 (For IEG Fellowships beginning in April 2022 or later)
