The Centre for Holocaust Studies at the Institute for Contemporary History will be offering two grants for research stays of up to four months each, at the Centre in Munich, during 2014. The Institute for Contemporary History is an EHRI partner.

The fellowships are designed to support and foster international Holocaust research. The program is aimed at both established and younger researchers. The institute is interested in a high degree of international cooperation, therefore applications from all over the world are welcome. A topic within the field of Holocaust Studies is required in order to be eligible for one of the fellowships.

Applicants should explain their interest in the fellowship and make clear which holdings of the Archives of the Institute for Contemporary History, and potentially other German archives, are relevant to them. The fellows are expected to partake actively in the events and research discussions of the Centre as well as present their own topic there. 

The stipend level will depend on the prior academic degrees of the recipients. This will be 2,000 Euro per month for doctoral students and up to 3,500 Euro for post-doctoral students. Additionally non-recurring travel to and from Munich will be covered. The fellows are obliged to take care of any necessary visas, housing and health insurance themselves at an appropriate time. 

Applications can be sent in either German or English and must be received by the 15 December 2013.

 Each application should contain the following materials:

• A letter explaining reasons for applying
• A project proposal (max. 5 pages)
• A curriculum vitae with a publication list
• Two letters of recommendation

Send any applications or queries either via email, mailto:loew@ifz-muenchen.de, or by post to:
