CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

The Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies offers up to one year of research support at the Freie Universität Berlin, one of Germany’s leading research universities. It is open to scholars in all social science and humanities disciplines, including historians working on German and European history since the mid-18th century.
The program accepts applications from U.S. and Canadian nationals, permanent and long-term residents. Applicants for a dissertation fellowship must be full-time graduate students who have achieved ABD status by the time the proposed research stay in Berlin begins. Also eligible are Ph.D.s who have received their doctorates within the past two calendar years from a North American university.

Fellowships are awarded for a period between ten to twelve months and must be held for a single continuous period. Approximately fourteen fellows are selected. The number of reapplications for each fellowship category is limited to two.
Located in one of the densest and most innovative academic regions in Europe, a Berlin Program Fellowship offers extraordinary research opportunities. Each semester, our research colloquium run by distinguished scholars, serves as the central meeting point to share, discuss and support each other’s work.
The Berlin Program is administered in close cooperation with our North American partner, the German Studies Association (GSA), the largest organization of scholars, professionals, and students who focus on the study of German-speaking Europe from all periods of history and all relevant disciplines.

Deadline: December 1, 2018.
Competition opening: November 1, 2018.
