The Historisches Kolleg is offering the following scholarships for the 43rd college year (1 October 2022-30 September 2023): up to 6 candidates will be awarded a year-long Senior and Junior Fellowship.
The Senior Fellowships are aimed at scholars from all historical disciplines who are active at universities or non-university research institutions and who have demonstrated outstanding research achievements. They serve to conclude a major scientific monograph. Senior Fellows can hold a scientific colloquium on their research topic during the college year. The results of the conference will be published in the series "Schriften des Historischen Kollegs: Colloquia" series. German Senior Fellows are expected to be granted a leave of absence by their university or research institution for the Kolleg year and continued payment of remuneration. The Kolleg will cover the costs of their substitution. The Fritz Thyssen Foundation, the Free State of Bavaria and the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) Munich-Berlin are currently providing funds for the Senior Fellowship. The Senior Fellowship of the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) at the Historisches Kolleg is awarded on an epoch-specific basis for research on the "long 20th century".
