Fellows will be affiliated with the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs and conduct research related to “The United States, Europe, and World Order,” with particular emphasis on the roles of the United States and Germany in a pivotal moment in world history.
The fellowship is designed for scholars working in international relations, political science, diplomatic history, international security, geostrategy, statecraft, grand strategy, and transatlantic relations. Fellows participate in seminars, peer-review sessions, engagement with foreign-policy practitioners and leading scholars, a German–U.S. conference, and a Washington, D.C. workshop. Each Fellow must complete a research paper connected to the annual theme while continuing their own research.
Appointments last between nine and twelve months, beginning between July 1 and October 1, 2027, and ending June 30, 2028, with possible renewal for an additional twelve months by mutual agreement. The fellowship provides a salary of up to $6,000 per month before U.S. taxes, research funding up to $3,000 for a 12-month stay, workspace and computing access, library access, healthcare benefits, and specified airfare support. Fellows arrange their own accommodation and living expenses.
Applicants must hold a doctorate or be at the postdoctoral level, demonstrate research capacity, and be fluent in English.
