The Historisches Kolleg invites applications for a Consolidator Fellowship for the 47th Kolleg year (1 October 2026-30 September 2027) aimed at applicants from the Global South, especially Africa.
With the Consolidator Fellowship Global South, the Kolleg aims to promote international exchange and help counteract global inequality of opportunity in academia. The additional funding required is provided by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BAdW).
Fellowship at the Historische Kolleg
The full-year fellowship (October to September) serves to support research projects in the humanities, social sciences and law that make use of historical methods. Residence in Munich is compulsory for the duration of the fellowship. Fellows are provided with office space and accommodation in the Historisches Kolleg. Freed from administrative and teaching duties, fellows are expected to give their full focus to their research project. They are further expected to give a public lecture during their fellowship year. This lecture will also be recorded on a separate date for online publication in the media centre of the Kolleg and with L.I.S.A., the science portal of the Gerda Henkel Foundation.
