Interdisciplinary collaborative fellowships in history of knowledges, Berlin (Germany), Deadline: 28 Jan 2022
ISRF-MPIWG Collaborative Fellowships in History of Knowledge
Independent Social Research Foundation
Eligible Applicants
The Independent Social Research Foundation (ISRF) and the Max Planck
Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) wish to support pairs of
researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds to conduct
collaborative research.
Researchers may apply from across the social sciences and the humanities.
Proposals should investigate original research ideas and specify potential
applications to real world problems, on regional or global scales. Each
pair of scholars would preferably combine historical with contemporary
perspectives on the sources and effects of knowledge formations, in
scientific, humanistic, economic, social, technological, or environmental
domains.
The awards are intended to provide a research stipend (to cover living
costs plus reasonable research expenses) for a period of up to five months
? with a core, mandatory period of four months commencing 1st March 2023 ?
for the purpose of working together on an interdisciplinary project, based
in Berlin for the duration.
Only pairs of scholars are eligible to apply, and must apply together.
Applicants will normally hold a full-time or part-time salaried position ?
which may be permanent or fixed-term ? at an institution of higher
education and research, though independent scholars are also eligible.
Each pair must represent two different disciplines and two different
institutions. Applications from two countries or nationalities are also
encouraged: one of the aims of this award is to facilitate collaboration
across borders.
Eligible Research
Innovative research that breaks with existing disciplinary boundaries and
explanatory frameworks. Applications are encouraged to address afresh
empirical problems concerning the epistemologies and politics of knowledge
formation in different historical and/or cultural contexts; they may focus
on the uses of knowledge, its decline, and the plurality of its forms, and
areas that have no currently adequate theory or investigative methodology.
Innovation may also come from controversial theoretical approaches that
pose a critical challenge to incumbent theories, discourses, or practices.
Interdisciplinarity in the generation of new investigative initiatives may
be achieved by combining, cross-fertilising, and transforming methods,
approaches, and theoretical insights from the social sciences and the
humanities. We welcome projects ranging across the breadth of the social
scientific disciplines, the humanities, and related interdisciplinary
research fields.
Duration & Timing
The awards are intended to provide a research stipend (to cover living
costs plus reasonable research expenses) for a period of up to five months
? with a core, mandatory period of four months from March to June 2023.
Award recipients would be expected to relocate to Berlin for the duration
of the award period, and submitted budgets should include costs of travel
and accommodation (which may include dependents).
Scholars will be hosted in Dahlem, in close proximity to the main building
of the MPIWG (Boltzmannstraße 18). This building is also home of the
IMPRS-KIR, a new, research-based PhD programme dedicated to ?Knowledge and
Its Resources.? They will be granted access to the research facilities and
infrastructures of the MPIWG (library and interlibrary loan service, IT,
guest service). Each pair of scholars will be provided with a dedicated
work space (one office with double occupancy). During their residence,
Fellows will be expected to engage with relevant MPIWG events (in
person/hybrid/virtual) and in the ongoing activities of the MPIWG?s
partners in Berlin. Physical presence and intellectual commitment will be
crucial to the overall success of this programme.
The term will conclude with a two-day conference, hosted at the Max Planck
Society?s Harnack-Haus, at which Fellows will present their work so far,
in discussion with scholars from the Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt
Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and the MPIWG.
Value
Applications are expected for awards up to a maximum value of ?40,000 per
pair. Budgets should itemise planned expenditure, to cover accommodation
and subsistence and reasonable research expenses.? Budgets which include
teaching (and associated administrative) buy-out costs will be considered,
but overheads must be limited to 10% of the total award amount. Budgets
must conform with the rules and requirements of applicants? home
institutions, who will manage the award money and process expense
reimbursements.
Additionally ? and therefore not to be included in the budget ? award
recipients may be entitled to receive an honorarium?? for preparation and
participation in the joint workshop at the end of the residency.
? Eligible research expenses will vary depending on the nature of the
proposed project. They may include, but are not limited to: fieldwork, and
associated travel, accommodation and subsistence; conference attendance,
and associated travel, accommodation and subsistence; conference
organisation costs, fees for invited speakers; interviews, and associated
travel, accommodation and subsistence; transcription, translation,
statistical analysis and other specialist services; dissemination costs
(to be itemised); specialist equipment (where not provided by the Host
Institution).
?? This honorarium is paid by the Max Planck Institute for the History of
Science.
