The GHI awards short-term research fellowships to European and North American doctoral students as well as postdoctoral scholars to pursue research projects that draw upon primary sources principally located in North America. GHI is particularly interested in research projects that fit into the following fields: German and European history; The history of German-American relations; The role of Germany and the USA in international relations; and North American history and Pan American, including Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean (European doctoral and postdoctoral scholars only). The proposed research projects should make use of historical methods and engage with the relevant historiography. GHI especially invites applications from doctoral students and postdoctoral scholars who currently have no funding from their home institutions. Applicants should be based at (or recent graduates of) a North American or European university or research institute. For doctoral students applying, ABD status is required before starting the fellowship. For postdoctoral scholars applying, the preference is for projects that are designed for the "second book" (Habilitation or pre-tenure equivalent). The proposed project should require primary research that is principally located in North America. To apply please send the following materials using the online application form as a PDF: a brief cover letter; curriculum vitae; a copy of most recent diploma or transcripts; project description; research schedule for the fellowship; and at least one letter of reference (sent separately). Applicants may write in either English or German; it is recommended that they use the language in which they are most proficient. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
