Overview
The AICGS Visiting Fellows Program is designed to provide scholars and specialists with a base while conducting their research in Washington, D.C. Visiting Fellows should be working on issues related to the AICGS mission, which is to strengthen the German-American relationship in an evolving Europe and changing world. Visiting Fellows must be self-financed and can be in-residence at AICGS for anywhere between one month to one year. Applications are accepted year round.
Visiting Fellows' research projects should fit under one or more of the Institute's three research and programming areas:
1. Business and Economics
2. Foreign and Domestic Policy
3. Society, Culture, and Politics
Within these three program areas, AICGS focuses on specific projects that address emerging issues relevant to a changing transatlantic relationship. Visiting Fellows who are working on similar issues may benefit particularly from a research stay at AICGS. The Program, however, accepts fellows working on a variety of issues.
Target Candidate
The Visiting Fellows Program is open to all nationalities. Fellows are responsible for their own travel and living costs while in Washington, D.C. In addition, Visiting Fellows must cover the use of office space at AICGS and incidentals, such as phone/supplies/postage. Foreign nationals must be eligible to travel to the U.S.
Qualifications
Applicants must have at least a Master's Degree and be working on issues related to the German-American relationship.
Application Procedure
There is no formal application form. To apply for the AICGS Visiting Fellowship Program, please submit the following materials:
a. A brief cover letter;
b. A curriculum vitae, with a list of publications (if relevant);
c. A project proposal (5-7 pages, double-spaced) outlining in clear, concise terms the substantive thrust of the research and its relevance to the AICGS mission, and the reasons for carrying it out at AICGS;
d. One letter of reference (for graduate students and recent Ph.D.s (received in the last five years) only).
Application Deadline
None
Visa Requirements
Visiting Fellows who are conducting their own research and are self-financed can travel to the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program (country-specific restrictions apply) for up to 90 days, provided they possess an e-passport and an approved authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). Visiting Fellows who are staying longer than 90 days or cannot travel under the Visa Waiver Program need a non-immigrant visa to travel to the U.S.: B-1 (Business Visitor Visa) or J-1 visa (Exchange Visitor Visa). AICGS will provide information about and assistance with obtaining a visa.
