Postdoctoral Fellowships of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Volkswagen Foundation

Each academic year, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Volkswagen Foundation fund up to twelve Post-doctoral Fellowships in the Humanities for stays of 9 to 12 months in Germany. The Leibniz Institute of European History (IEG) is one of the cooperating partners.


The Fellowships address postdocs at American universities and research institutes working in the Humanities who wish to spend some time at the IEG working on a research project. The IEG invites Postdocs working on the historical foundations of Europe from the early modern period to 1989/90, particularly regarding their religious, political and social dimensions. Projects dealing with European communication and transfer processes as well as projects focusing on questions related to theology, church history and intellectual history are particularly welcome.
