Profile
The IEG awards research fellowships for international junior scientist

research on the historical foundations of Europe from the early modern
period to contemporary history, particularly their religious, political
and social dimensions. Projects dealing with European communication and
transfer processes as well as projects focusing on questions related to
theology, church history and intellectual history are particularly 
welcome.

pursue their individual PhD-project. They are also invited to
collaborate with the academic staff of the IEG, according to their
particular fields and interests

specialist library and the wider academic infrastructure of Mainz are
available to them for their research.

background. Applicants must have a first degree in history, theology or
