Gerda Henkel Fellowships in Intellectual History -
Marbach Weimar Wolfenbüttel

The Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach, the Klassik Stiftung Weimar and the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel and the Gerda-Henkel-Stiftung will award

3 Gerda Henkel Fellowships in Intellectual History in 2010

The programme is directed to doctoral and post-doctoral candidates working on projects in intellectual history based on the source material available at one or more of the participating institutions. Proposals should develop a clearly focused research question relevant to current trends in intellectual history. Interdisciplinary projects linking political intellectual history with the history of images and media would be particulary welcome. Projects with a purely literary focus cannot be considered. Candidates can apply to work consecutively at two institutions within the programme. The maximum duration of fellowships is three months, the fellowship is 900 Euro per month for doctoral candidates and 1.500 Euro for post-doctoral candidates. Fellows must ensure that they have the necessary medical insurance coverage.

Applications (c.v. stating current employment status, list of publications, project proposal (6 pages max.), work plan with details of the holdings which will be used, number of months for which you are applying) using the form available here should be directed to the institution where you wish to hold the fellowship. The fellowships are awarded by a joint selection committee with members from the Henkel Foundation and the three participating institutions. The main selection criteria are the qualifications of the applicants, the significance of the project's contribution to intellectual history and the relevance of the library/archive holdings for the project. There is no legal entitlement to a fellowship. The deadline is February 28th 2010
