[PhilPhys] The Heinrich Hertz Fellowship in History and Philosophy of Physics at the University of Bonn for the academic year 2021/2022

[Juliusz Doboszewski]

The Heinrich Hertz Fellowship in History and Philosophy of physics
is designed to allow graduate students (typically PhD students but
Master students can also apply) and early-career postdoctoral scholars to
spend either half of or a full academic year at the University of Bonn to
work on any topic in the history and philosophy of physics. They have no
formal duties apart from following their own research agenda and
interacting with the other historians and philosophers of physics in Bonn [
https://www.history-and-philosophy-of-physics.com/ ]. Hertz fellows are
provided with:

   - A (possibly shared) office in the Institute of Philosophy of the
   University of Bonn.
   - Reimbursement of all travel and visa costs to come to Bonn.
   - A monthly stipend of 2500 Euros to cover accommodation and maintenance
   during the stay in Bonn. Stipends are not generally taxable in Germany.
   Fellows have to show that they have sufficient (travel) health insurance
   for their stay in Bonn.
   - Reimbursements of some conference travel and similar expenses during
   the stay in Bonn.


Fellows can apply to spend either the winter semester, the summer semester
or both (i.e. the whole academic year including the time between the two
semesters) in Bonn. In the academic year of 2021/2022, the winter
semester goes from early October to the end of January (with a two week
break for the holidays) while the summer semester lasts from early April
till the end of July.

If you are interested in a Hertz fellowship, please send your complete
application documents by 31 January 2021 to Ms Yvonne Luks at

letters of reference which must be sent by the letter writers or the
placement service directly to the above address. In your cover letter,
please state for which semester(s) you would like to come to Bonn, what
kind of research project you intend to pursue during your time here, and
why pursuing this project in Bonn would be particularly useful to you. If
you have questions, please contact Prof. Lehmkuhl (
