USA: DAAD Prize for Distinguished Scholarship in German and European Studies

Overview

Every year, the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies (AICGS) awards the DAAD Prize for Distinguished Scholarship in German and European Studies in recognition of exceptional work in one of the Institute’s three major areas of research: Foreign & Domestic Policy; Business & Economics; and Society, Culture & Politics. The central aim of this prize is to foster a new generation of American scholarship on Germany and encourage innovative contributions to the interdisciplinary scope of German Studies. This year’s prize will be awarded in the field of the Humanities.

Amount awarded

A jury composed of several highly respected scholars in the field is charged with selecting the winner. This year’s prize carries a stipend of $5,000 and will be awarded at the Institute’s Global Leadership Award Dinner in November 2010 in New York City.

As a rule, awardees must be members of a university faculty or research institute staff in the United States at mid-career. They must also be American citizens or residents. American candidates who received a doctorate in Germany may also be nominated. The chief criterion for selection is an outstanding publication record in the fields of German literature, culture, arts, and music in the post-World War II period. The Institute welcomes nominations of candidates who have made innovative contributions to the interdisciplinary scope of German Studies. Nominations must include:


1) A nominating letter of no more than three pages;
2) The nominee’s current C.V. with publication list; and
3) The names of three other leading scholars familiar with the nominee’s work.

Application deadline

Nominations must be received no later than June 30, 2010, and must be e-mailed to Jessica Riester at jriester@aicgs.org.

AICGS is grateful to the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) for its generous support of this prize.
