The Deutsches Museum in Munich has several attractive scholarships to offer research scholars interested in working for 6 months on projects. Applicants are invited to base their projects on the collections of the Deutsches Museum and to cooperate closely with museum staff on site when formulating their research proposals. Projects involving innovative approaches to artefact-oriented research are especially welcome. During their stay, visiting scholars will have daily contact with the museum´s curators, archivists and librarians (approx. 50 staff members) as well as members of the Munich Center for the History of Science and Technology.
Scholarship holders will have their own workplace with a desktop computer, and the opportunity to reside temporarily in subsidized apartments of the museum complex insofar as these are available. They will present their research projects to colleagues at the beginning of their stay and will be expected to participate regularly in the museum’s and the Munich Centre’s Monday colloquium series and workshops. The scholarship is expected to be carried out in presence. Scholars at any level of seniority (pre-doctoral and post-doctoral) are eligible to apply, provided they have at least one university degree (Master or PhD / BA is not sufficient). There are no restrictions regarding nationality. The ability to read German is a prerequisite for the application (passive language skills).
