Career
Development
Fellowship
The Leo Baeck Institute is offering a Career
Development Award of up to $20,000 a year for two years as a
personal grant to a scholar or professional in an early career
stage, e.g. before gaining tenure in an academic institution or its
equivalent, whose proposed work would deal with topics within the
Leo Baeck Institute’s mission, namely historical or cultural issues
of the Jewish experience in German-speaking lands.
The award will cover, in the first instance,
the period July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2009 and, at the discretion of
the reviewing board, may be continued into a second year.
The grant is intended to provide for the cost
of obtaining scholarly material (e.g. publications), temporary help
in research and production needs, membership in scholarly
organizations, travel, computer, copying and communication charges
and summer stipend for non-tenured academics.
Applications outlining the nature and scope
of the proposed project including a budget should be submitted, in
no more than two pages, by March 1, 2008 to Dr. Frank Mecklenburg,
Leo Baeck Institute, 15 E. 16th St. New York 10011, NY. A
curriculum vitae, names of three references, and supporting
material (outline of proposed work, draft of chapters, previous
publications) should be appended. E-mail submission to
fmecklenburg@lbi.cjh.org is encouraged. |
