Description
This fellowship program, hosted by the German Historical Institute Washington (GHI) in partnership with the Institute of European Studies at UC Berkeley, enables two postdoctoral researchers—one with a degree from a German university and one from a North American institution—to form a research tandem and pursue collaborative historical research at the GHI's Pacific Office in Berkeley. The 24-month residency emphasizes interdisciplinary and international scholarly exchange, offering fellows access to UC Berkeley’s resources and major archives across the Bay Area. Fellows are expected to conduct original research, organize a scholarly workshop on the West Coast, and actively participate in the intellectual life of the GHI's Pacific Office. The program is designed to foster professional development and cross-regional dialogue in German, European, and global history.
