(Source: EVIR)


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.

STIPEND

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.
