The international Leo Baeck Fellowship Programme awards fellowships to doctoral students who carry out research into the German-Jewish Studies on history and culture.
Projects on any period or field (including literature, philosophy, history, cultural studies), and any region (such as Europe, Israel, the Americas) are welcome. It is open to doctoral candidates of any nationality, studying at any university.
In addition to financial support for one year, the programme provides opportunities to exchange ideas with peers from around the world. All fellows remain at their home institution, but come together for two workshops in the course of the fellowship, which are jointly organised by the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes, the Leo Baeck Institute London and the Leibniz-Institute for Jewish History and Culture – Simon Dubnow Leipzig.
Fellows receive a monthly living allowance of EUR 1,650 and a monthly research allowance of EUR 100. Those who are pursuing a doctorate while raising children receive additional support.
