The Leibniz Institute of European History (IEG) in Mainz awards one fellowship for a period of six to eight months for international doctoral students in the field of Digital Humanities. The fellowship will begin in July or later.
The fellowship supports international doctoral students who wish to carry out their own research project using Digital Humanities methods. The focus should be on a leading question that contributes to the institute’s research programme, preferably on the current topic of “Negotiating differences in Europe“. As a member of the institute’s Digital Historical Research Unit, you will collaborate closely with researchers of the DH Lab. This can help you develop additional perspectives for your research project.
Scholars from the humanities with a historical focus who use digital methods for their projects are also invited to apply for the fellowship.
