Einstein Fellowship for Interdisciplinary Research

The Einstein Forum and the Daimler and Benz Foundation are offering a fellowship for outstanding young thinkers who wish to pursue a project in a different field from that of their previous research. The purpose of the fellowship is to support those who, in addition to producing superb work in their area of specialization, are also open to other, interdisciplinary approaches – following the example set by Albert Einstein.

The fellowship includes living accommodations for five to six months in the garden cottage of Einstein`s own summerhouse in Caputh, Brandenburg, only a short distance away from the universities and academic institutions of Potsdam and Berlin. The fellow will receive a stipend of EUR 10,000 and reimbursement of travel expenses.

Who can apply?

·         Candidates must be under 35 and hold a university degree in the humanities, in the social sciences, or in the natural sciences.

·         It is not relevant whether the applicant has begun working toward, or currently holds, a PhD.

·         Please note that no fellowships will be given for dissertation research.

·         The proposed project must be significantly different in content, and preferably field and form, from the applicant’s previous work.

Deadline for application: April 15, 2017 (Application documents should be delivered to the posting address in Germany by this date.)
