The Imre Kertész Kolleg invites applications for fellowships for the year 2023 & 2023/2024 for periods of residence from three to twelve months. The Kolleg awards fellowships to scholars in the history of Central and Eastern Europe or neighbouring disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, political sciences, philosophy, literary studies or linguistics relevant to the region.

In 2023, applications are invited from:

- early career scholars, researching the topic of the long transformation in Central and Eastern Europe for a junior fellowship.
- noted and established scholar in the field of the history of the Holocaust and its aftermath for a senior fellowship.
- applicants from Ukraine, working on the history of the region.

Fellows are expected to conduct a larger scholarly project corresponding to the aforementioned fields. As the fellowships are writing fellowships either for conceptualizing or finalizing work, fellows are expected to work at the Imre Kertész Kolleg and to reside in Jena for the duration of their fellowship.
Stipends range from € 3.000 to € 5.300 per month according to the academic position at the home institution. The Kolleg will provide work space, support by student research assistants, and will help finding appropriate accommodation in Jena.

Applications for a fellowship beginning before October 1, 2023 should be submitted by 31 December 2022.
