Thanks to the generous support provided by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, the Gotha Research Center of the University of Erfut is for the fourteenth time in a position to offer Herzog-Ernst Scholarships to doctoral and post-doctoral fellows who plan on utilizing the collections of the Research Library in Gotha.

Research scholarships for Ph.D. students will be awarded for periods of up to nine months and postdoctoral scholarships for up to six months. Moreover, we welcome in particular applications corresponding to the following grant types: exploration stipends for PhD candidates embarking of their dissertation as well as “text and object” stipends for PhD candidates and postdocs, applying themselves to the relations between texts and objects. Applications for “profile stipends” for projects related to one of the research focuses at the Centre are likewise especially welcome.
