The next deadline for the IEG Fellowship in Digital Humanities is April 20, 2020 for fellowships beginning in July 2020 or later.
The Leibniz Institute of European History (IEG) awards one fellowship for a period of six to eight months for international doctoral students in the field of Digital Humanities. The fellowship supports international doctoral students who wish to carry out their own research project using Digital Humanities methods. Your research should be connected to the institute’s research programme, on »Negotiating differences in Europe«. As a member of the institute’s Digital Historical Research Unit you will collaborate closely with researchers of our DH Lab.
Scholars from the humanities with a historical focus who use digital methods for their projects are also invited to apply for the fellowship.
As a member of the IEG’s research community you will be able to discuss your project in the inspiring working environment of the IEG. As a Fellowship holder you are required to reside in Mainz. You will participate in the IEG's research community and the weekly colloquia, where we expect you to present your work at least once during your fellowship. Fellows must submit a final report of their project at the end of the funding period.
Proficiency in English and German is required in order to participate in discussions at the Institute.
