The Leibniz Institute of European History (IEG) awards fellowships for international postdocs in European history, the history of religion, historical theology, or other historical disciplines.  

The IEG funds research projects on European history from the early modern period until 1989/90. We are particularly interested in projects

• with a comparative or cross-border approach,
• on European history in its relation to the wider world, or
• on topics of intellectual and religious history.

The IEG Fellowship provides a unique opportunity to pursue individual research projects while living and working for 6–12 months at the Institute in Mainz.

During the fellowship, fellows are required to reside at the Institute in Mainz and actively participate in the IEG's research community and the weekly colloquia. Applicants must have completed their doctorate no more than three years before taking up the fellowship. Applicants should be proficient in English and have a sufficient command of German to participate in discussions at the Institute.
