PHE Simone Veil Fellowship
Project House Europe (PHE), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, seeks to promote cutting-edge research from around the world on the history of Europe during the 20th and 21st centuries.
In honor of the French jurist, politician, president of the European Parliament and Holocaust survivor Simone Veil, Project House Europe has set up a fellowship program for postdoctoral and senior scholars. The program especially welcomes researchers working across disciplines and striving to contribute to the public dialogue on the challenges Europe faces today.
The fellowship program supports outstanding scholars working on the history of Europe’s inner (dis-)entanglements and its place in the world since 1918. For the summer term 2024, PHE particularly welcomes applicants working on a major project examining forms of trans- and international cooperation and their crises.
Terms
Fellows will be based in the heart of Munich at the Project House Europe and have no teaching obligation. They are expected to spend their fellowship in residence, to work on a major project, and to participate actively in life at PHE, including a presentation of their work. Fellowships can be granted for a period of one to three months. Fellowships may begin on 15 April 2024, or the first day of any of the following months; they end on or before 19 July 2024. PHE offers time, guidance, and space for dialogue to conduct excellent research. We provide an office space and access to LMU’s facilities. The fellowship entails a monthly living allowance and also covers economy travel to and from Munich. Health insurance and other social benefits are not part of the fellowship and remain the responsibility of the fellow.
