Berlin Program Postdoctoral Fellowships Grant

The Berlin Program Postdoctoral Fellowships provide up to one year of research support at Freie Universität Berlin, offering EUR 1800 monthly for 10 to 12 months, alongside a travel reimbursement of EUR 1200. This opportunity is open to social science and humanities scholars, particularly those who have recently completed their Ph.D. from North American universities. It aims to foster research on German and European history since the mid-18th century.

We offer five different fellowships: Berlin Program Dissertation Fellowship, Berlin Program Postdoc Fellowship, Max Kade Berlin Postdoc Fellowship, Kerstin Leitner Berlin Dissertation Fellowship and Kerstin Leitner Berlin Postdoc Fellowship.
Fellowships for postdoctoral research are EUR 1800 per month for 10 to 12 months and carries a travel reimbursement of EUR 1200. We support recent postdocs, i.e. applicants who have received their doctorates in the last two calendar years from a North American university or applicants who are in the process of receiving their Ph.D. from a North American university and will have defended their thesis by the time the proposed research in Berlin begins.
