We learned of a call for applications for fellowships at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg Münster. More info can be found on the Centre’s website.
The Käte
Hamburger Kolleg „Einheit und Vielfalt im Recht“ (EViR, ‘Legal Unity and
Pluralism‘) at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster is inviting applications
for fellowships (6-12 months).
We invite (legal)
historians, scholars of applied law, ethnology, sociology, theology, literary
studies as well as Jewish and Islamic studies. The fellows’ projects should
exhibit clear relevance for both the general aims of the Käte Hamburger Kolleg
as well as the respective annual themes. These themes are:
2021/22:
Exceptions and Plurality.
2022/23:
Modes of Standardisation.
2023/24:
Causes of Plurality.
2024/25:
Dynamism and Stability.
Your Time at the Kolleg:
During your
time as a fellow you are expected to be an active participant in the activities
and events hosted by the Kolleg. You will be given the opportunity to present
your project in a Fellow-Lecture at the beginning of your fellowship. At the
end of your tenure, your research findings should be presented in another paper
and published as a journal article or a comparable publication.
In Münster,
we offer an inspiring research atmosphere in an interdisciplinary and
international setting with many opportunities for collaboration and
intellectual exchange with scholars at the Kolleg. You are also encouraged to
contribute to the events programme of the Kolleg by proposing a workshop that
can be organised in cooperation with our team either during or after your
fellowship. However, the central aim of the fellowship is to give you
sufficient time to focus on your research topic.
Duration:
We
encourage applications for 6-12 month fellowships. The commencement as well as
the actual duration of the fellowship will be discussed with the successful
applicant. Please state when you plan to stay in Münster in your application. We
will repeat the call for applications every six months but we are able to
accept applications for fellowships up to 2025.

The stipend
is competitive and offers the possibility for a buy-out. The Kolleg covers
travel costs to and from Münster. We will provide a fully furnished office and
organisational help with visa applications and finding accommodation.
