American Council on Germany Hunt and Goldman Fellowships

American Council on Germany 2004-2005
Dr. Guido Goldman Fellowship
for the Study of German and European Economic and International Affairs

Since reunification in 1990, Germany has realized greater significance
as an economic and political powerhouse, both in Europe and on a global
level. Because of its status as a reunited sovereign nation, a leading
member of the European Union, and a key partner in NATO, understanding
contemporary Germany is of great importance. American scholars,
journalists, and analysts can play a role in addressing the key issues
in Germany - and Europe as a whole.

The American Council on Germany's Dr. Guido Goldman Fellowship is
intended to help analysts better understand Germany. Dr. Goldman is a
political scientist and longtime Board member of the American Council on
Germany. He is also Director of German Studies at the Minda de Gunzburg
Center for European Studies at Harvard University and Co-Chairman of the
Board of the German Marshall Fund of the United States. He has devoted
his career to the study of economics and foreign relations as they apply
to Germany, Europe, and North America. The Dr. Guido Goldman Fellowship
is intended to foster the study of European economic and international
affairs. Topics that would fall under the rubric of the fellowship
include the formulation of German economic and foreign policy and the
evolution of U.S.-European relations. Fellows are required to develop
research itineraries in consultation with the American Council on
Germany.

The Dr. Guido Goldman Fellowship award covers the cost of pre-approved
international and domestic travel and a per diem of $150 for up to 28
days in Germany and elsewhere in Europe relevant to the research being
conducted. Following the completion of the trip, fellows will submit a
report summarizing their findings.

Fellows are selected through a competitive application process. The
selection committee for the Dr. Guido Goldman Fellowship will evaluate
applications based on: the contribution the project will make to an
understanding of the economics and foreign relations of Germany, Europe,
and North America; the feasibility of the proposed project; the training
of the applicant; and the scholarly potential of the applicant. While
applicants should demonstrate an interest in German and European
affairs, no prior experience in Germany or Europe is required. The
fellowship program aims to - but is not limited to - serve postgraduate
students, including individuals enrolled in Ph.D. programs, who are in
relatively early stages of their careers. Knowledge of the German
language is not a prerequisite.

Applicants should send the following materials to the address below:
1. A cover letter, outlining the applicant's professional and personal
objectives for the fellowship
2. A project proposal of at least two pages
3. A current CV
4. Two letters of reference

Applications are due by August 15, 2004.

Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship
for the Study of German Politics, Society, and Culture

Germany has made significant contributions to western culture and
society, yet its history also has had profound repercussions - which
have been felt throughout the world. The writing of this history has
been an international project. More specifically, North American
scholars have joined with their German counterparts and made important
contributions to an understanding of the German people. The American
Council on Germany's Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship is intended to
promote the cooperative study of Germany. Named in honor of the Harvard
historian who devoted much of his career to assisting and mentoring
younger scholars, this fellowship provides support for individuals
interested in the political, social, and cultural history of Germany.
While Dr. Hunt spent most of his career in a university setting, his
interests and work extend well beyond academia. He served as President
of the American Council on Germany for 15 years before being named to
his current position of Vice-Chairman.

The fellowship program aims to - but is not limited to - serve
postgraduate students, including individuals enrolled in Ph.D. programs,
who are in relatively early stages of their careers. This fellowship is
open to scholars with an academic affiliation and to those who are
independent or have other professional associations. Applicants should
demonstrate an interest in German political, social, and cultural
affairs; however, no prior experience in Germany is required. While
helpful, knowledge of the German language is not a prerequisite. Fellows
are required to develop research itineraries in consultation with the
American Council on Germany.

The Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship award covers the costs of
pre-approved international and domestic travel and a per diem of $150
for up to 28 days in Germany. Following the completion of the trip,
fellows will submit a report summarizing their findings.

Fellows are selected through a competitive application process. The
selection committee for the Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship will evaluate
applications based on the following criteria: the contribution the
project will make to a better understanding of German history (and more
specifically, the political, social, and cultural components); the
feasibility of the proposed project; the training of the applicant
(including a knowledge of German); and the scholarly potential of the
applicant.

Applications are due by August 15, 2004.

The American Council on Germany (ACG) is a private, American

world wars. The ACG's mission today is to strengthen and promote open
communication and mutual understanding between the United States and
Germany. To effectively meet common challenges and face changes
confronting the U.S. and Europe, it is essential that these two key
partners in the transatlantic alliance have a clear understanding of
each other's concerns and interests.
