Overview
The American Council on Germany is seeking applications for the 2010-2011 Dr. Guido Goldman Fellowship for the Study of German and European Politics, Political Economy, and International Affairs. The fellowship supports promising younger American scholars whose research bears special significance for German and European economic and foreign policy within the wider European context. Since reunification in 1990, Germany has played an increasingly important role as an economic engine and political leader, both in Europe and in the global arena. Because of its status as a reunited sovereign nation, a leading member of the enlarged European Union, and a key partner in NATO, understanding contemporary Germany holds great value. American scholars and analysts continue to contribute to the understanding of current issues facing Germany and the wider Europe.
This Fellowship was established in 2003 to honor political scientist and longtime ACG Board Member Guido Goldman, Director of German Studies at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University and Co-Chairman of the Board of the German Marshall Fund of the United States. Dr. Goldman has devoted his career to the study of economics and foreign relations as they apply to transatlantic affairs.
Benefits
The Dr. Guido Goldman Fellowship award covers the cost of pre-approved international and inter-city travel and provides a per diem stipend of $200 for up to 28 days in Germany and elsewhere in Europe as relevant to the research being conducted. Fellows develop research itineraries in consultation with the American Council on Germany. Following the completion of the trip, fellows must submit a report summarizing their findings.
Selection criteria
Fellows are selected through a highly competitive process by a jury of distinguished scholars. The selection committee for the Dr. Guido Goldman Fellowship will evaluate applications based on: the contribution the project will help in deepening the understanding of key economic or foreign policy issues in Germany, Europe, and North America; the feasibility of the proposed project; the training of the applicant; and the scholarly potential of the applicant. While applicants should demonstrate an interest in German and European affairs, no prior experience in Germany or Europe is required. The fellowship program aims to serve academics in relatively early stages of their careers (including individuals who are in the last phase of their Ph.D. program and are finishing their dissertation as well as recent PhDs). All applicants must hold U.S. citizenship and reside in the United States at the time of application. Knowledge of the German language is not a prerequisite.
Eligible candidates
All applicants must hold U.S. citizenship and reside in the United States at the time of application. Knowledge of the German language is not a prerequisite.
Please submit a cover letter outlining personal and professional objectives for the fellowship, a current curriculum vitae, a project proposal of at least two pages, and two letters of recommendation to:
