Finkelstein Doctoral Fellowship
The Fritz Bauer Institute, in cooperation with the Hans and Berthold Finkelstein Foundation, is granting two doctoral scholarships for research into key aspects of the history of I.G. Farben.
The doctoral projects are based at the Chair for the Study of the History and Impact of the Holocaust at Goethe University Frankfurt, which is closely affiliated with the Fritz Bauer Institute. The projects will receive support for 36 months.
The dissertations are expected to address the following research areas:
• I.G. Farben: Work culture and workplace community in the National Socialist era
• Approaches to the history of I.G. Farben in Germany after 1945 (in West and/or East Germany)
Applicants should hold an excellent degree in Modern and Contemporary History (Master’s, Magister or Staatsexamen), with a focus on twentieth‑century German history and experience working with contemporary historical sources.
Please send your application with your CV, university transcripts, list of publications (if applicable), a letter of motivation of no more than two pages, and a sketch of your ideas for a doctoral project related to one of the two topics mentioned above in a single file by email to the Director of the Fritz Bauer Institute, Prof. Dr. Sybille Steinbacher, sekretariat.steinbacher@fritz-bauer-institut.de. Please indicate ‘Finkelstein Doctoral Scholarship’ in the subject line.
