Call for Applications 2014-15
The Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society invites applications for its 2014–15 class of postdoctoral and senior fellows. The fellowship program, directed by Christof Mauch (LMU Munich) and Helmuth Trischler (Deutsches Museum) is designed to bring to Munich a cohort of excellent scholars who are working in the environmental humanities and related disciplines.
The Center will award fellowships to scholars from around the globe and from a variety of disciplines. Applicants’ research and writing should preferably pertain to one of the topics that will be at the core of the Center’s 2014–15 research agenda:
- Transformation of Landscapes
- Environmental Ethics, Politics, and Movements
- Resource Use and Conservation
The program is a writing fellowship program; the Carson Center does not sponsor field trips or archival research. Fellows are expected to spend their fellowship in residence, to work on a major research project, to attend the weekly lunchtime colloquium, and to present their research at the Center.
As the first phase of financing for the Carson Center ends on 31 July 2015, all successful applicants must complete their fellowship by this date. Decisions about the fellowships will be announced in mid-August; fellows will have the opportunity to be in residence between October 2014 and July 2015. Fellowships will be granted for periods of 3, 6, or 9 months.
The Carson Center will pay for a replacement of the successful candidate at his or her home institution; alternatively it will pay a fellowship that is commensurate with experience and current employment.
The deadline for applications is 31 May 2014.
