[Gesth-l] The Europeanization of Europe

[Katalin Fabian]

10 Doctoral fellowships "The Europeanization of Europe" (BKVGE Berlin)



Hertie-Foundation and Gerda Henkel Foundation



Berlin School for Comparative European History (Berliner Kolleg für
Vergleichende Geschichte Europas)



The Berliner Kolleg für Vergleichende Geschichte Europas (BKVGE; Berlin
School for Comparative European History), which was established on 1 July
2004, will grant 10 further fellowships for doctoral students from European
states. Seven fellowships will be provided by the Gemeinnützige
Hertie-Stiftung (Frankfurt am Main), while the Gerda Henkel Stiftung
(Düsseldorf) will support three more doctoral students. The fellowships
(1030 Euros per month) will be granted to successful candidates for 30
months, starting on 1 April 2006.



The doctoral programme of the BKVGE deals with 'The Europeanization of
Europe. Historical Comparison and Transfer.' Four fields of research receive
particular attention:



* the public sphere and citizenship

* migration and transfer

* the state and social self-organisation

* identities and images of Europe and Europeans in global perspective.



Proposals should be related to one of these fields. Comparative studies and
projects which deal with transfers and entanglements in European history
since the late eighteenth century are particularly welcome.



Applicants should have an excellent academic record with a major in history,
a good command of German, and at least one additional European language.
They will be required to live in Berlin and to participate in the academic
activities of the BKVGE. They should also be interested in Germany as well
as in issues of European integration. Moreover, they are expected to be
involved in some practical civic engagement.



Deadline: 10 December 2005.



Only applicants from East European states are kindly requested to complete
the form which is available on the internet site of the BKVGE
(www.fu-berlin.de/zvge, click Ausschreibungen). Please send your
applications with a curriculum vitae, a description of your project proposal
(8 - 10 pages), and assessments (transcripts with grades) to:
