The Ehrenpreis Centre for Swift Studies at the University of Münster, Germany, would like to draw your attention to the following opportunity for early-career scholars working on Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) and his contemporaries.

Fondazione 1563 is pleased to launch the sixth call for applications to award up to 4 two-year fellowships for advanced studies on "After the Enlightenment: Histories, Debates, and Reinterpretations."

Announcement: 2 Fellowships for Postdoctoral Researchers and 1 Fellowship for Doctoral Students

With this fellowship programme, funded by the Gerda Henkel Foundation, the IZEA intends to specifically promote research in the history of knowledge and the history of science with a focus on the period of Enlightenment, hence, a field which receives particular relevance in current debates in science politics and society more generally.

For the year 2026, the IZEA offers two fellowships for postdoctoral researchers for up to three months amounting to 2,760€ per month, and one fellowship for doctoral students for up to three months amounting to 1,920€ per month. The fellows work for up to three months at the IZEA and participate in the Centre’s research programme.
