Bonn, December 21st, 2021. Once again, in 2022 up to ten fellowships will be awarded to doctoral students working on a doctoral thesis in the field of the history and culture of Central European Jewry. With the Leo Baeck Fellowship, the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes – German Academic Scholarship Foundation – and the Leo Baeck Institute London enable doctoral candidates to receive one year of doctoral funding. Applications are open now and will be accepted until February 1st, 2022.
Since 2006 the international Leo Baeck Fellowship Program has been supporting excellent doctoral students of all disciplines working on the study of Jewish life in Central Europe. Applications are welcome from projects on any period or field and any region, as long as they relate to German-speaking Jewry.
Fellows may apply for supplements to travel to archives, research institutes, conferences and libraries worldwide as part of their research. This program is open to doctoral candidates of any nationalities, studying at any universities worldwide and thus brings together doctoral students from different scientific cultures.
// Wide range of subjects – one-year full scholarship //
The deadline for application is February 1st, 2022. The fellowships run from October 2022 to September 2023. Fellows receive a stipend of 1,450 € a month. Fellows can also apply for supplements for health insurance (max. 100 €/month) and childcare, as well as travel allowances to support research tips and participation at conferences abroad. Contributions to tuition fees outside Germany may also be granted (max. 10,000 €). Academic activities corresponding to 25% of a fulltime position may be pursued to supplement the scholarship in order to promote integration in the research context. Working languages are German and English.
All fellows remain at their home institution, but come together for two workshops in the course of the fellowship, which are jointly organised by the German Academic Scholarship Foundation and the Leo Baeck Institute London.
The German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) funds the Leo Baeck Fellowship Program.
// Worldwide network: 167 doctoral students have been supported so far //
In the past fifteen years, 167 doctoral students from countries such as France, Great Britain, Israel, Canada, Poland, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, the USA, and Germany have received funding. Among those who have received funding are historians, philosophers, film scholars, musicologists and literary scholars.
