Fellowships at RWTH Aachen University, Germany | Gdańsk University of Technology

The Käte Hamburger Kolleg: Cultures of Research (c:o/re) is an International Center for Advanced Studies at RWTH Aachen University funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Part of its mission is to offer a free space to its fellows to develop their research projects in a vibrant academic environment facilitating exchange of ideas for a timespan of up to 12 months.
 

Fellowships

Fellows will join The Käte Hamburger Kolleg: Cultures of Research (c:o/re) for up to 12 months. The fellowships provide a full grant, commensurate with applicants’ level of professional experience, working space in fully-equipped offices, logistical 2 support, and access to the interdisciplinary research environment and research labs at RWTH Aachen University. Fellows who take unpaid leave during their fellowship will receive financial compensation in the form of a stipend; alternatively, financing for a teaching replacement at the fellow’s home institution can be arranged for. In order to create a stimulating intellectual environment among the resident research community, the fellowships are in residence and fellows are expected to be regularly present at c:o/re during their fellowship. Thus, taking residency in Aachen or the surrounding area is required and c:o/re can support fellows in finding suitable accommodation.

Applications

The deadline for applications is December 31, 2023. Scholars can apply for either junior or senior fellowships. For junior fellows a successfully completed PhD is an eligibility requirement; for senior fellowships a professorship (associate or full professorship) or comparable position (e.g., senior lecturer) is expected. Applications (in English) should include a cover/motivational letter (1 page), CV (tabular, max. 2 pages), a project outline incl. intended goals/outcome of the project (max. 1300 words), and a list of publications. Please also submit a writing sample (journal article or book-chapter). Applications must be submitted via our online application platform that you find here.
