Two Fellowships
for outstanding scholars who have submitted or will submit their PhD thesis between September 2017 and August 2018.
The "Get-it-Published" fellowships are open to students whose research topic is related to the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine, or Science and Technology Studies. The scholarship is dedicated to assist young researchers (that is, at the end of their PhD phase or early Post-docs) from Asian, African, or Latin American institutions to work with an international community at the MPIWG, Berlin.
Candidates are expected to have finished the archival research for their thesis and be in a position to devote six months to writing and preparing an article in English for journal publication. Regular meetings will be held to support both the writing process and academic development.
The fellowships will start on 1 September 2018 and run up to 28 February 2019.
