Building a Smarter German-American Partnership
AGI is now accepting applications for the DAAD/AGI Research Fellowship Program in 2021. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, AGI anticipates that travel to and in-person residency in Washington, DC, for the fellowship will likely not be possible until spring or summer 2021.

The DAAD/AGI Research Fellowship Program, funded by a generous grant from the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD), is designed to bring both senior and junior scholars and specialists working on key issues of central importance to the German-American relationship to AGI for research stays of between two to four consecutive months each. AGI offers several fellowships, which include a monthly stipend of up to €3,204 (depending on the seniority of the applicant); transportation to and from Washington, DC; financial support for research-related travel to institutions within the DAAD center network (Centers for German and European Studies) in North America; and office space at the Institute.

During their tenure, DAAD/AGI Research Fellows will be expected to present their research results at a workshop to the broader Washington, DC, policy community and produce a short analytical essay that will be published on the AGI website and distributed via the Institute’s targeted analysis newsletter, The AGI Advisor. AGI welcomes applications from individuals at academic institutions, think tanks, and public policy and research organizations who focus on subject areas dealing with transatlantic relations, primarily policy, politics, economics, law, education, social sciences, and humanities. The fellowship is open to individuals with German and other nationalities as follows:

  • German nationals who are doctoral candidates, junior academics, and academics;
  • Foreign (non-German) doctoral candidates, junior academics, and academics permanently living in Germany;
  • German and foreign doctoral candidates, junior academics, and academics at the network centers of currently or formerly supported DAAD Centers for German and European Studies outside of the United States.

Deadline to apply: 15 January 2021
