Centre for Advanced Study Käte Hamburger Kolleg inherit Fellowships at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

The Centre for Advanced Study inherit.heritage in transformation, a BMBF-funded Käte Hamburger Kolleg based at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, explores historical, contemporary, and potential future transformations in heritage. Annually, up to fifteen international fellows engage in research activities at the Centre.

Eligible Research

Eligible topics vary by year. Guiding themes are Decentring the West, Decentring the Human, and Transforming Value, and yearly topics include Addressing Heritage Loss.

Award

Fellowships can be awarded for a period of at least 6 to a maximum of 10 months. During the fellowship, fellows are expected to be based in Berlin and devote their time to their work in the Centre (except for a small number of possible short visits elsewhere, such as to give talks or participate in workshops).

Eligibility

Applicants should have completed a PhD to an excellent standard and significant publications, or, in the case of artists and practitioners, should have a substantial portfolio of accomplished work. Applications from both experienced and early career post-doc researchers are welcome. Researchers and topics from areas currently underrepresented in heritage scholarship, including the global South and Eastern Europe, are especially encouraged to apply. We also welcome applications from artists, film-makers and curators.
