German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C.
Bewerbungsschluss: 30.09.2005

The Breuninger Foundation (Stuttgart) and the German Historical
Institute, Washington, invite applications for the Breuninger Fellowship in Environmental History. The fellowship is open to European scholars whose work requires the use of archival or library resources in the United States. Preference will be given to scholars working on doctoral dissertations or post-doctoral projects in comparative European-American or transatlantic history; researchers in environmental history who are not working toward degrees or whose work focuses on areas other than Europe and the United States but who need to conduct research in the U.S. are also encouraged to apply. The fellowship will cover travel expenses to and within the U.S. and carry a stipend of up to EUR 5,000 dependent upon the length of time required for the research. The recipient will be affiliated with the German Historical Institute but will not be required to be in residence for the entire duration of the fellowship.

To apply, submit a CV, brief project description (in English), and a
research plan (including the source materials to be consulted, the
archives, libraries, and/or other institutions to be visited, and a
tentative schedule) to:
