Awarded by the Einstein Forum along with the Daimler and Benz Foundation
The Einstein Forum along with the Daimler and Benz Foundation are providing a fellowship for outstanding young thinkers who wish to pursue a project in a different field from that of their prior research. The objective of the fellowship is to support those who, along with producing excellent work in their area of specialization, are also open to additional, interdisciplinary approaches — following the example set by Albert Einstein.
The fellowship includes living accommodations for five to six months in the garden cottage of Einstein’s summerhouse at Caputh, Brandenburg, only a brief distance away from the universities and academic associations of Potsdam and Berlin. The fellow will be given a stipend of EUR 10,000 and compensation of travel expenditures.
Call for Applications:
Candidates should be under 35 and hold a university degree in the humanities, in the social sciences, or in the natural sciences. Applications for 2020 should include a CV, a two-page project proposal, and two letters of recommendation. All documents must be received by May 15, 2019.
At the conclusion of the fellowship period, the fellow will be expected to present their project in a public lecture in the Einstein Forum and in the Daimler and Benz Foundation. The Einstein Fellowship isn’t meant for applicants who would like to complete an academic study they’ve already begun.
A successful application has to demonstrate the quality, originality, and feasibility of their proposed project, in addition to the superior intellectual development of the applicant. It isn’t relevant whether the applicant has started working toward, or currently holds, a PhD. The proposed project does not need to be entirely completed during the time of this fellowship but may be the beginning of a longer project.
How to Apply:
PLEASE NOTE THAT NO FELLOWSHIPS WILL BE GIVEN FOR DISSERTATION RESEARCH. THE PROPOSED PROJECT MUST BE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT IN CONTENT, AND PREFERABLY FIELD AND FORM, FROM THE APPLICANT’S PREVIOUS WORK.

FAQ
1. What kind of projects can I propose?
- Your proposed project shouldn’t be a part of your dissertation or thesis, along with also the application documents should be in English. Otherwise, there are no limits on the project you may propose as long as you’re able to defend your idea as interesting, original, and feasible throughout the fellowship period. Please also consider if the facilities available to you here will appropriately permit you to pursue your own project.
2. How different should my proposed project be from my previous work?
-
- There’s not any hard and fast rule, nor is there a formula for how the proposal ought to look. All you have to demonstrate is that you haven’t already done work– e.g. master’s theses, published essays, books, etc.. directly associated with your proposed project. You should have already given significant thought to your project idea.
3. Can I propose two projects?
-
- The fellowship is given for only 1 project. Therefore, we advocate focusing on strengthening only 1 proposal.
4. Should I attach the letters of reference in my application, or should my recommenders send them separately?
-
- We’ll accept both, but we recommend that your reference letters have been emailed to us directly from their respective authors.
5. Is TOEFL/IELTS required?
-
- We need only the documents listed. We don’t need TOEFL/IELTS results in your application, as your application needs to already reflect mastery of English.
6. When will I hear back about my application?
-
- We’ll acknowledge receipt of your submission as soon as possible. The application interview and review processes begin in June, with final decisions released at the end of July.
7. When does the fellowship take place?
-
- Though the precise dates are somewhat flexible, the 5-6 month period of the fellowship should rather occur throughout the summertime and finish inside the calendar year.
8. Is it mandatory to stay in Einstein’s summer house?
-
- Yes. As part of the Einstein Fellowship, we expect the fellow to reside in Caputh.
9. What may the stipend be used for?
-
- The stipend is intended to cover living expenses and project expenses incurred during your fellowship period.
10. Can my family come? Does the fellowship cover travel expenses of family members?
-
