Description
The Long-term Visiting Fellowships at the German Historical Institute Washington (GHI) provide advanced doctoral candidates and postdoctoral scholars the opportunity to conduct extended research residencies of 6 to 12 months in Washington, DC. Fellows pursue projects in broad thematic areas such as German, European, and Jewish history; transatlantic history; the history of migration and mobility; and the study of empires and their legacies, with a particular interest in transnational or global perspectives and digital history approaches. Fellows benefit from access to major research resources in the Washington area (e.g., Library of Congress, National Archives) and are expected to participate in GHI activities and scholarly events while advancing their own research.
