Leibniz Summer Fellowships “German and European History in the 20th century”
The
Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung / Centre for Contemporary History
Potsdam (ZZF) is pleased to invite applications for up to three
Leibniz Summer Fellowships “German and European History in the 20th century”
for
the academic year 2018 to study German and European History in the 20th
century. These two-month fellowships provide an opportunity to pursue
individual research in Germany while participating in the academic life
of one of Germany’s major historical research centres. Founded in 1992,
the ZZF covers a broad scope of Contemporary European History with
currently four research departments “Communism and Society”, “Economic
Thought and Practice”, “Regimes of the Social Sphere” and “Contemporary
History in the Age of Media and Information”. The ZZF library holds
approx. 80,000 items and subscribes to more than 100 periodicals. Since
2009, the ZZF has been a member of the Leibniz-Association.
Applicants
must have at least postdoctoral status with an outstanding academic
record. They are expected to pursue their own research. However
applicants whose interests relate to the research departments of the ZZF
will be preferred. Fellowship holders will be assigned to a research
department and asked to present their current project in a seminar or
colloquium.
The Leibniz Summer Fellowships carry a monthly grant
of about 3,000 €. The funding is supposed to cover all expenses
including travel, housing, and insurance. Fellows are expected to reside
in Berlin or Potsdam for two consecutive months between April and
October 2018. The ZZF will provide office space and other relevant
facilities.
The application deadline is November 30, 2017.
Decisions will be announced not later than December 31, 2017.
Applications can be in English or German and must include a letter of
interest; a curriculum vitae; a list of publications; a project proposal
not exceeding 1,500 words. Please address your application to:
