The Max Planck Institute for
European Legal History in Frankfurt is a world leader in research on the
history of law in Europe and beyond. Its international research community of
over 60 scholars, the unrivalled collections of its specialist library and its
numerous national and international co-operations make it a central research
hub for a global scientific community investigating the past, present and
future of legal regimes. We award several Postdoctoral and Research
scholarships annually to enable outstanding researchers to spend time at the
Max Planck Institute for European Legal History and are now inviting
applications for research stays in 2021. Scholarship holders are expected to
pursue their own research project, which should relate to the Institute’s
current research agenda.
In 2021 scholarships will
primarily be awarded to scholars proposing to work on the following topics
Department I – Professor Stefan
Vogenauer • Legal transfer in the common law world and more generally • History
of European Union law
Department II – Professor Thomas
Duve • Goals and methods of writing legal history • Glocalising normativities
in the Iberian Worlds (15th – 19th centuries) • Key concepts of the
juridical-political language of the School of Salamanca
Applications should be written in
English and consist of the following documents: • Research proposal (up to
10,000 characters), including an explanation as to how the project relates the
Department’s main research activities • CV • List of publications • Names and contact
details of two scholars who have agreed to provide references (upon request) •
Scan of the completed and signed form ‘Additional Application Details’ • Three
relevant publications of the last five years (as PDFs)
Deadline: All applications must
be submitted via the online application system by 31 May 2020.
Scholarships run for either 3 or
6 months, starting at the beginning of January, April, July or October.
Scholars without a regular income receive a monthly stipend of either €2,100
for postdoctoral researchers or €2,300 for senior researchers. Scholars who are
employed and/or have other forms of financial support can receive compensation
for expenses at a fixed rate for the period of their stay. The compensation
can, however, only be granted for up to three months and consists of a food
allowance of €28 per day and €20 per day for accommodation.
