Visiting Research Fellowships "Violence in East and West" (University of Konstanz)

The synagogue attack that took place in Pittsburgh on 10/27/18 left many scholars and American Jews with lingering, urgent questions about antisemitism, violence, and trauma. To support inquiry into this pivotal event in American Jewish history, the Jewish Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh, in partnership with the Rauh Jewish Archives at the Heinz History Center, announces the availability of the second Fine Fellowship for the study of the 10/27/2018 attack.

The GHIW offers scholarships for researchers whose work aligns with the Institute’s research objectives. We support research in German and East Central European history that requires a stay in Poland, Lithuania, or the Czech Republic. The grants are intended primarily for non-tenured, early-career scholars and are awarded for periods ranging from one to four months (depending on the research project). Only projects at an advanced stage are eligible for support. We do not provide write-up grants.

In the period from February 15 to April 15, 2025, 23.59 p.m. (Central European Summer Time - CEST) you can apply for a fellowship in 2026 at Schloss Wiepersdorf. Please read the following guidelines carefully. You will find the link to the application form at the end of the text.
