[Jobs] German Historical Institute Fellowship in the History of Migration

[Leora Lawton]

The German Historical Institute, Washington, DC, is now accepting
applications for a 6- to 12-month Fellowship in The History of Migration.
Potential projects could focus on (but are not limited to) the following
areas: the cultural capital of migrants and their communities, migration
and knowledge transfer, and state responses to migration. It is essential
that the proposed research projects make use of historical methods and
engage with the relevant historiography. The fellowship term begins
September 1, 2017.

The Fellow is expected to be in residence in Washington, DC, and
participate in GHI activities and events. The Fellow will have the
opportunity to make use of the resources in the Washington metropolitan
area, including the Library of Congress and the National Archives, while
pursuing his or her own research. Travel within the US to work in archives
and libraries will also be possible. Candidates doing original research for
a dissertation or a second book project will be given preference.

The fellowship is open to both doctoral and postdoctoral scholars. The
monthly stipend is € 1,700 for doctoral students and € 3,000 for
postdoctoral scholars from European institutions; students and scholars
based at North American institutions will receive a stipend of $1,900 or
$3,200 respectively. In addition, fellowship recipients based in Europe
will receive reimbursement for their round-trip airfare to the U.S.

To apply please send a cover letter, a CV, a copy of your most recent
diploma or transcripts, at least one letter of reference (sent separately),
a research project proposal (5-pages or 2,000 words max), and a research
schedule for the fellowship period, no later than December 1, 2016.
Applicants may write in either English or German; we recommend that they
use the language in which they are most proficient.
Please also clearly state in the application why your project is a good fit
for this specific fellowship. Applications should be sent electronically as
single PDF via e-mail to Bryan Hart at fellowships at ghi-dc.org.
