DAAD/AICGS Research Fellowship Program Spring 2009
DAAD/AICGS Research Fellowship Program Spring 2009
AICGS is now accepting applications for the next round of DAAD fellowships. The application deadline for Spring 2009 (January 2009 – June 2009) is August 31, 2008.
The DAAD/AICGS Research Fellowship Program, funded by a generous grant from the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD), is designed to bring scholars and specialists working on Germany, Europe, and/or transatlantic relations to AICGS for research stays of two months each. Fellowships include a monthly stipend of up to $4,725, depending on the seniority of the applicant, transportation to and from Washington, and office space at the Institute.
Please note that the DAAD/AICGS Research Fellowship supports fellows conducting research at AICGS in Washington, D.C. We are unable to support research in Germany/Europe.
DAAD/AICGS Research Fellows will be expected to produce a short analytical essay that will be published on the AICGS website and distributed via the Institute’s bimonthly email newsletter, The AICGS Advisor. For fellows producing research output of exceptional quality and interest, AICGS will provide opportunities for public presentations to the broader Washington policy community.
Project proposals should address a topic closely related to one or more of the Institute’s three research and programming areas:
- Business and Economics
- Foreign and Domestic Policy
- Society, Culture, and Politics
Special consideration will be given to research projects addressing the Institute’s current and future project emphases within these areas. Projects should also be compatible with and supportive of the AICGS Mission, which is to strengthen the German-American relationship in an evolving Europe and changing world. The Institute produces objective and original analyses of developments and trends in Germany, Europe, and the United States; creates new transatlantic networks; and facilitates dialogue among the business, political, and academic communities to manage differences and define and promote common interests.
QUALIFICATIONS AND APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
- Applicants must be German or American citizens.
- All application materials MUST be received by AICGS by the deadline in order to be considered for fellowships in the specified period.
- APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
There is no formal application form. To apply for the DAAD/AICGS fellowship program, please submit the following materials:
a. a brief cover letter (please indicate your citizenship in the cover letter);
b. a curriculum vitae, with a list of publications (if relevant);
c. a project proposal (5-7 pages, double-spaced) outlining in clear, concise terms the substantive thrust of the research and its relevance to the AICGS mission, and the reasons for carrying it out at AICGS;
d. two letters of reference (for graduate students and recent Ph.D.s (received in the last five years) only).
4. APPLICATION DEADLINES:
For the Fall Session (July – December): February 28
For the Spring Session (January – June): August 31
Please note that fellows must be in residence at AICGS during the period they have applied for. Unfortunately, no exceptions can be granted.
5. VISA REQUIREMENTS :
If selected as DAAD/AICGS fellows, German nationals must be eligible for and obtain a J-1 visa from a U.S. consulate or embassy in Germany. Applicants should be aware that, due to U.S. immigration regulations, J-1 visas may be subject to the 2-year rule, which prohibits individuals from returning to the United States on an immigrant visa for a period of two years upon completion of their fellowship at AICGS. (Please contact the U.S. Embassy in Germany for further information on the 2-year stipulation.) AICGS will provide detailed information about the visa process once a fellow has been selected.
Please send all application packets to the following address:

I am 30 years old. Previously, I was a student in Arbaminch Water Technology Institute. Then, I graduated in 2003. My department was irrigation engineering. Now, I am a worker in governmental office. I work for the position of IRRIGATION ENGINEER in water resources office at the ‘woreda’ level. For the future I want to improve my qualification and serve my country as well as myself as far as possible. To do so, I was searching to get a university which can allow me for graduate study. I succeded in getting acceptance from UNESCO-IHE institute for water education to continue my graduate study or master program. But, there was no financial supporter for the education and that institute indicated me to find sponsorship or scholarship.
Thus, when I try to find a scholarship or financial support using the internet, I come accross this website. It invites me to write something here and I have done it. That means, I expressed my problem because I feel that I got a chance of scholarship or financial support to my education.
I hope it will be a path to obtain such a chance. Finally, I would like to write my address.
