Deutsches Historisches Institut in Washington DC: Doctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowships

Deadline: 1 October 2026

News from Aug 11, 2026

The GHI awards short-term fellowships to European and North American doctoral students as well as postdoctoral scholars to
pursue research projects that draw upon primary sources located in the North America.
We are 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
  • 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. We
especially invite applications from doctoral students and postdoctoral scholars who currently have no funding from their home
institutions. The fellowships are usually granted for periods of one to four months but, in exceptional cases and depending on
the availability of funds, they can be extended by one month.
