Call for Applications: Lindemann Fellowship for Private International Law 2025, Apply Now
Following a successful first year, the Lindemann Fellowship for Private International Law is entering its second application round. Generously funded by the Lindemann Foundation, the Lindemann Fellowship is a newly established initiative aimed at supporting promising academics in the field of private international law. The Fellowship’s primary goal is to provide early-career researchers with the opportunity to build a network with academics from all over Europe. Fellows will, in principle, be accepted for a three-year period, with new Fellows joining each year, as existing Fellows complete their tenure.
The core of the Fellowship is an annual, fully funded meeting of the Fellows and coordinators, lasting two days, where Fellows present their current research. The meetings offer younger scholars a valuable opportunity to engage with other highly skilled Fellows from across Europe. Additionally, Fellows will have the chance to meet the coordinators of the Fellowship, receive feedback on their research projects, and obtain guidance on questions related to their future academic careers. The research presented at the Annual Meetings will be edited for publication in collected volumes.
Who should apply and how? Applicants’ primary area of research should be in private international law (particularly conflict of laws and international civil procedure). Candidates who have completed their PhD must apply within four years after defending their PhD. Candidates who expect to submit their PhD within a year and have an outstanding academic background are also encouraged to apply. Applicants have to be based within Europe (not restricted to the European Union).
Applications should include the following: a short letter of motivation (including research focus and current institutional affiliation), curriculum vitae, list of publications with publication titles translated into English, a short summary of the PhD (2-3 pages), indication of the outcome of the doctoral assessment, academic transcripts for undergraduate and master’s degrees, at least one academic reference (ideally from the doctoral supervisor), and any other relevant documents. Applications (combined into a single PDF) must be submitted by 1 November 2025 to lindemann-fellowship@uni-hamburg.de.
