Visiting Fellows in History & Sociology, Germany
Description
Every year, the Bielefeld University Graduate School in History and Sociology invites four doctoral researchers (two each semester) from other countries to work at the Graduate School for four to six months to promote international scientific and cultural exchange. Visiting fellows have the opportunity to use their stay at the BGHS to work intensively on their dissertation, visit degree programme courses and build contacts to our scientific community.
Eligibility
All international doctoral researchers may apply who are matriculated in a doctoral programme and whose dissertation has a historical, sociological, social-anthropological or political science focus. German nationals may also apply if their tertiary education has been at foreign universities. The visiting fellowships further networking with scientists at the BGHS, therefore no prolonged archival or research trips should take place within this period. To ensure that your project fits with the BGHS profile, you should take a close look at the areas of research covered by the BGHS. You can find an overview of the areas of research and the professors working at the BGHS HERE.
Scholarship
The grant consists of a EUR 1,200 stipend per month. This amount will be supplemented by a child allowance if applicable. Upon application, travel costs can also be covered by the Graduate School. Fellows receive a computer work station for the duration of their stipend.
Application
The deadline for applications is 15 June 2013 for a fellowship during winter term 2013/2014 (1 October 2013 to 3 March 2014, term in session 14 October 2013 to 7 February 2014). They suggest that most of your stay falls during the time that the term is in session.
