<p>Dear all, <br>
</p>
<p>The Deutsches Museum in Munich has several attractive
scholarships to offer research scholars interested in working for
six or 12 months on projects involving the museum`s vast and
heterogeneous collections. The scholarship programme is
international and interdisciplinary in scope.<br>
<br>
There are myriad opportunities at the Deutsches Museum for
innovative research into scientific processes and the changing
cultures of technology. Founded in 1903, the museum's holdings
comprise some 100,000 objects; an <a
href="https://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/archives/" title="To
the Archives" target="_self" class="more">archive</a> of 4,500
shelf metres including an extensive collection of scientific
photographs, technical illustrations, trade literature and private
papers; and a specialist <a
href="https://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/library/" title="To the
Research Library" target="_self" class="more">research library</a>
with 875,000 volumes, 5,000 journals, and an extensive collection
of rare books on te history of science and technology. The
museum's collections have evolved over the years, absorbing the
instruments, books and archives of individual scientists and
engineers as well as of companies and scientific institutions, and
reflect bygone experimental systems and cultures of innovation.
The unique structure of this collection enables scholars to
develop innovative <span lang="EN-GB">cross-disciplinary </span>methods
of research on the basis of texts, images and artefacts available
on site and to engage in both the historical and archaeological
exploration of science and technology.<br>
<br>
Applicants are invited to base their projects on the collections
of the Deutsches Museum and to cooperate closely with museum staff
on site when formulating their research proposals. Projects
involving innovative approaches to artefact-oriented research are
especially welcome.<br>
<br>
During their stay, visiting scholars will have daily contact with
the museum´s curators, archivists and librarians (approx. 50 staff
members) as well as members of the <a
href="http://www.mzwtg.mwn.de/" target="_blank" class="external">Münchner
Zentrum für Wissenschafts- und Technikgeschichte</a> (Munich
Center for the History of Science and Technology; approx. 50 staff
members). </p>
<p>Scholarship holders will have their own workplace with a desktop
computer and telephone, and the opportunity to reside temporarily
in subsidized apartments of the museum complex insofar as these
are available. They will present their research projects to
colleagues at the beginning of their stay and will be expected to
participate regularly in the museum’s and the Munich Centre’s
Monday colloquium series and workshops.<br>
<br>
Pre-doctoral stipends: € 7,500 (six months) / € 15,000 (full
year). Post-doctoral stipends: € 15,000 (six months) / € 30,000
(full year). Scholars at any level of seniority are eligible to
apply, provided they have at least one university degree (Master
or PhD). BA is not sufficient. There are no restrictions regarding
nationality. All scholars are requested to make their own
provisions for health insurance.
