Interdisciplinary collaborative fellowships in History of Knowledge, Berlin (Germany)

Deadline: Friday 28 January 2022

The Independent Social Research Foundation (ISRF) and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) wish to support pairs of researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds to conduct collaborative research.

Researchers may apply from across the social sciences and the humanities. Proposals should investigate original research ideas and specify potential applications to real world problems, on regional or global scales. Each pair of scholars would preferably combine historical with contemporary perspectives on the sources and effects of knowledge formations, in scientific, humanistic, economic, social, technological, or environmental domains.

The awards are intended to provide a research stipend (to cover living costs plus reasonable research expenses) for a period of up to five months - with a core, mandatory period of four months commencing 1st March 2023 - for the purpose of working together on an interdisciplinary project, based in Berlin for the duration.
