Einstein
Fellowship Awarded by the Einstein Forum and the Wittenstein Foundation
The Einstein Forum and the
Wittenstein Foundation offer 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.
Call for Applications
Candidates must be under 35 and hold a university degree in the
humanities, in social sciences, or in natural sciences. Applications
for 2024 should include a CV, a two-page project proposal,
and two letters of recommendation. All documents must be received by May 15, 2023.
At
the end of the fellowship period, the fellow will be expected to present his or
her project in a public lecture at the Einstein Forum and at the Wittenstein
Foundation. The Einstein Fellowship is not intended for applicants who wish to
complete an academic study they have already begun.
A
successful application must demonstrate the quality, originality, and
feasibility of the proposed project, as well as the superior intellectual
development of the applicant. It is not relevant whether the applicant has
begun working toward, or currently holds, a PhD. The proposed project need not
be entirely completed during the time of the fellowship but can be the
beginning of a longer project.
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.
