Doctoral and Post-doctoral Research Fellowships

The Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History will award doctoral and post-doctoral research fellowships.

Successful applicants will be expected to carry out their research work at the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center from January through September.

During this period the fellows are expected to conduct their research in Israel and to participate in the workshops and colloquia of the Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center.

This call is open to all proposals within the scope of the center’s research interests and activities.

The centre also encourages applications for work regarding theories of language in the context of German-Jewish Culture.

In addition, proposals related to the Rosenzweig Center’s Research Project on “Exile and the Production of Knowledge: Culture, Politics and Literature” will be given special emphasis.

Applicants interested in a postdoctoral fellowship must have been awarded the Ph.D. no earlier than October 01.
