Leibniz Institute of European History Mainz: Fellowships for Doctoral Students

Programme Description

The Leibniz Institute of European History (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 to pursue your individual PhD project while living and working for 6–12 months at the Institute in Mainz. During the fellowship you are required to reside at the Institute in Mainz. You actively participate in the IEG's research community, the weekly colloquia and scholarly activities. We expect you to present your work at least once during your fellowship. The IEG preferably supports the writing up of dissertations; it will not provide funding for preliminary research, language courses or the revision of book manuscripts. The IEG encourages applications from women.

Target Group

The fellowship is open to PhD students from Germany and abroad (m/f/d) working in European history, the history of religion, historical theology, or other historical disciplines.

Academic Requirements

PhD students should have at least a Master's level degree in history, theology or another discipline which works historically. They must have been pursuing their doctorate for no more than 3 years at the time of taking up the fellowship, though exceptions may be made in exceptional circumstances.
