Le Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) est un Centre de recherches au sein de l'université de Freiburg, pôle universitaire d’excellence fondé grâce à l'initiative d'excellence, un concours fédéral des universités allemandes. L’Institut est composé d’une École scientifique –school of history – au sein de laquelle l’ensemble des disciplines en histoire est représenté ; des chercheurs internationaux y réalisent des projets majeurs de recherche pendant leur séjour. Dans la phase actuelle des cinq premières années de la school of history, les projets individuels se rassemblent autour de l'histoire européenne comparative du XVIIIe au XXe siècle. Au-delà de cette perspective définie, des propositions scientifiques concernant d’autres époques et d’autres pays sont également les bienvenues.

For 2010/11 applications are invited for

• 4 Senior Research Fellowships
  for tenured Professors in the field of History and/or allied disciplines and
• 3 Junior Research Fellowships
  for post-doctoral researchers in the field of History and/or allied disciplines.

Candidates for Senior Fellowships should have an outstanding record in international acade-
mia with a high-ranking publication profile. Applicants for Junior Fellowships should be ex-
ceptional young researchers with a highly promising Ph.D. in addition to further publications.

Fellowships do not entail any teaching obligations. However, Junior Fellows wishing to do so
may teach within the University and can also further qualify at the Faculty of Philosophy of
the Albert-Ludwigs-University.

All fellowships start on October 1, 2010. They will be remunerated according to the German
professorial system, depending on the candidate’s profile and qualification. Senior Fellow-
ships and Junior Fellowships are usually for one year. All FRIAS Fellows are expected to re-
side in Freiburg.

Applications including CV, list of publications, two letters of reference (only for Junior Re-
search Fellowships) and a research proposal (5-8 pages) should be sent to the Directors of the  FRIAS School of History by June 22, 2009: University of Freiburg, FRIAS School of History, Prof. Dr. Ulrich Herbert and Prof. Dr. Jörn Leonhard, Starkenstr. 44, 79104 Freiburg i.Br., Germany.
