\nScholar-in-Residence Program<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nThe 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.<\/p>\n

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 archive<\/a> of 4,500 shelf metres including an extensive collection of scientific photographs, technical illustrations, trade literature and private papers; and a specialist 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 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

During their stay, visiting scholars will have daily contact with the museum\u00b4s curators, archivists and librarians (approx. 50 staff members) as well as members of the M\u00fcnchner Zentrum f\u00fcr Wissenschafts- und Technikgeschichte<\/a> (Munich Center for the History of Science and Technology; approx. 50 staff members).<\/div>\n

\nScholarship 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\u2019s and the Munich Centre\u2019s Monday colloquium series and workshops.<\/p>\n

Pre-doctoral stipends: \u20ac 7,500 (six months) \/ \u20ac 15,000 (full year). Post-doctoral stipends: \u20ac 15,000 (six months) \/ \u20ac 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.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nThe ability to read German is a prerequisite for the application (passive language skills).<\/div>\n
