Deadline: August 15, 2024
Applications are open for the Leibniz Institute of European History (IEG) Fellowships 2025. The Leibniz Institute of European History (IEG) awards research fellowships to young academics from Germany and abroad.
Funding is provided for both doctoral and postdoctoral research dealing with the religious, political, social and cultural history of Europe from the early modern period to 1989/90. Comparative, transnational and transfer-historical research projects are particularly welcome, as are projects which deal with topics of intellectual, church or theological history.
If they wish, fellowship holders and fellows can collaborate with the academic staff of the IEG in the Institute’s research areas. Each fellowship holder is assigned a contact person from among the academic staff of the IEG who can offer them advice and mentoring. The fellowships are exclusively for the purpose of conducting the research project described in the application at the IEG. Thus, no other form of employment or funding can be pursued or availed of during the duration of the fellowship.
Fellowship
- IEG Fellowship for doctoral students have a monthly value of €1,350.
- Fellowship holders whose partners accompany them to Mainz and do not have income of more than €450 per month may receive a family allowance. Indicate in your application whether your partner accompanies you to Mainz.
- Fellows who come to Mainz accompanied by their underage children can apply for a child allowance.
Eligibility
- Open to PhD students from Germany and abroad who have at least a Masters level degree in history, theology or another discipline which works historically.
- They must have been pursuing their doctorate for no more than three years at the time of taking up the fellowship, though exceptions may be made in exceptional circumstances.

Dissertations are completed under the supervision of the fellowship holder’s supervisor at their home university.
