Senior Research Fellowship Programme

We are very happy to welcome Anna Vind from the University of Copenhagen as Senior Research Fellow at the IEG. During her time in Mainz, she will work on her research project "Invisibility and Faith. Studies in Luther's understanding of the life of a Christian as seen first and foremost in his lectures on Paul’s letter to Galatians, the Magnificat and the Book of Psalms".
Her main research interests are Luther's theology, scholastic theology, classical rhetoric and Luther's relation hereto, Luther's exposition of Paul, Luther interpretation, national and international history of the Reformation.
Anna Vind gained her PhD at the Department of Church History of the University of Copenhagen in 2002. In 2013 she was qualified as professor and since 2018, she is associate professor at the Department of Church history of the University of Copenhagen.



In 2013, the IEG established the Senior Research Fellowship Programme for established researchers. It enables the directors to invite respected academics from other European countries and outside Europe to Mainz to pursue their own research and to exchange ideas with the academics working at the IEG. The programme facilitates and strengthens existing cooperation, and potentially lays the groundwork for new shared research projects. Senior research fellows usually come to Mainz for between two and six months, during which they can organize an expert workshop on a topic of their choice, which fits into the research programme of the Institute.
