The Einstein Forum and the Daimler and Benz Foundation are offering a fellowship for outstanding young thinkers who wish to pursue a project in a different field from that of their previous research. The purpose of the fellowship is to support those who, in addition to producing superb work in their area of specialization, are also open to other, interdisciplinary approaches – following the example set by Albert Einstein.
At the end of the fellowship period, the fellow will be expected to present his or her project in a public lecture at the Einstein Forum and at the Daimler and Benz Foundation. The Einstein Fellowship is not intended for applicants who wish to complete an academic study they have already begun.
A successful applicant must demonstrate the quality, originality, and feasibility of the proposed project, as well as the superior intellectual development of the applicant. It is not relevant whether the applicant has begun working toward, or currently holds, a Ph.D. The proposed project need not be entirely completed during the time of the fellowship but can be the beginning of a longer project.
Candidates must be under 35 and hold a university degree in the humanities, in the social sciences, or in the natural sciences.
Applications for 2020 should include a CV, a two-page project proposal, and two letters of recommendation.
Applications should be submitted by email to: [email protected]
