The Leibniz Institute of European History is thrilled to announce its Fellowship Program for the academic year 2024/25, designed to support doctoral research in Germany. This prestigious opportunity is open to both domestic and international PhD candidates who are in the early stages of their doctoral studies. Ideal candidates will hold at least a Master’s degree in history, theology, or any other discipline with a historical focus, and should not have been engaged in their doctoral work for more than three years, barring extraordinary circumstances. Upon completion of the fellowship term, recipients are required to present a comprehensive report on their research findings.
Sponsored by the Leibniz Institute of European History in Germany, this Graduate Research Fellowship aims to foster groundbreaking research in European history. The fellowship offers a generous monthly stipend of €1,350 and is available to several doctoral students who meet the eligibility criteria. This initiative not only provides financial support but also enriches the academic and research landscape by encouraging the pursuit of scholarly excellence among doctoral candidates from around the globe.
Applicants interested in applying for the IEG Fellowships must be enrolled in a full-time doctoral program and under the guidance of a supervisor at their home university, as the Leibniz Institute does not conduct examinations or award academic degrees. The fellowship exclusively supports the research project proposed in the application, with no other employment or funding permitted during the fellowship period. Additionally, a family allowance is available for fellows whose partners or underage children join them in Mainz. To apply, candidates must submit their applications via email by August 15, 2024, including a detailed research proposal, curriculum vitae, and relevant academic documentation. For more details on the application process and fellowship benefits, interested individuals are encouraged to visit the official website of the Leibniz Institute of European History. This fellowship represents a remarkable opportunity for doctoral students to advance their research in an environment dedicated to academic excellence and innovation.
