Leibniz Institute of European History Mainz: Fellowships for Doctoral Students

The Leibniz Institute of European History (IEG) in Mainz awards fellowships for doctoral students in European history, the history of religion and other historical disciplines. The IEG funds PhD projects in European history from early modern to contemporary history. The Institute is particularly interested in projects with a comparative or cross-border approach, on European history in its relation to the wider world, on topics of intellectual and religious history, and that use digital tools and methods. 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 and actively participate in the IEG's research community, the weekly colloquia and scholarly activities. Fellows are expected to present their work at least once during their 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.
