European history, the history of religion and other historical disciplines.
The IEG funds PhD projects in European history from early modern to contemporary history. We are
particularly interested in projects
• with a comparative or cross-border approach
• on European history in its relation to the wider world
• on topics of intellectual and religious history
• that make use of digital tools and methods.
W HAT WE OFFER
IEG Fellowships provide a unique opportunity to pursue and finalise individual PhD projects while
living and working at the Institute in Mainz for 6–12 months. The monthly stipend is € 1,350.
Additionally, it is possible to apply for family or child allowance.
R EQUIREMENTS
Successful candidates are required to reside at the Institute in Mainz throughout the duration of
their fellowship. They are expected to be active members on the IEG’s research community and to

progress at least once during their stay. The IEG supports the writing up of dissertations and does
not provide funding for preliminary research, language courses or the revision of book manuscripts.
