Call for Applications
Researching the diversity of Jewish life from the early modern period to the present day is the mission of the Institute for the History of the German Jews (IGdJ) in Hamburg. While the IGdJ’s historical focus lies on the history and culture of German-speaking Jewry, questions concerning Jewish life in the present, practices of remembrance and commemoration, as well as modern media and digital technologies open up new research perspectives and spaces for discussion.
In order to strengthen scholarly debate and bring new research perspectives to the IGdJ, the institute has been awarding annual research fellowships since 2022. These fellowships are intended to support innovative academic projects in the field of Jewish Studies and to deepen both national and international exchange.
For 2027, a total of three fellowships can be advertised thanks to new cooperations, thereby expanding the IGdJ’s research funding program.
The application deadline is 16 March 2026. Further information on application procedures and fellowship conditions can be found here:
