The Leibniz Institute of European History (IEG) awards fellowships to postdocs conducting research in European history, the history of religion, and other historical disciplines (including Digital Humanities).
The IEG funds research projects on European history from the early modern period to contemporary history. We are particularly interested in projects
- with a comparative or cross-border approach,
- on European history, including its relation to the wider world,
- on topics of intellectual and religious history,
- with digital tools and methods, or
- on environmental history.
