The successful candidate will research and teach at the Hertie School as part of joint project with Stiftung Mercator.
The Hertie School is calling on exceptional academics and public policy practitioners to become the next Henrik Enderlein Fellow. Interested candidates can hand in an outline for their fellowship plans that involve research and teaching activities to be conducted at the Hertie School from September 2023 to May 2024. The Henrik Enderlein Fellowship is funded by the foundation Stiftung Mercator. Applications must be received by 16 March 2023. For more information on the procedures and rules, potential candidates can have a look at the Henrik Enderlein Fellowship website.
Fellowship to bridge gap between academia and public policy
“The fellowship commemorates Henrik Enderlein, an outstanding academic companion and late President of the Hertie School. It will be a great opportunity for our future fellows to bridge the gap between academia and public policy,” says Hertie School President Cornelia Woll. “Henrik's ability to build networks and reach out beyond academia was crucial for the Hertie School to become a renowned institution and an internationally recognised forum for policy exchange. With the support of the Stiftung Mercator, we are proud and honoured to welcome designated fellows to continue his legacy,” Woll adds.
Funding for up to 9 months
The Henrik Enderlein Fellowship offers funding for research and teaching activities for up to 9 months in a growing international and interdisciplinary research community. The fellowship can be awarded to candidates based in Germany and Europe. A travel and accommodation budget for non-residential fellowships and business trips is provided.
The first Henrik Enderlein Fellowship was awarded to Dr Johannes Lindner, who previously led the EU Institutions and Forums department at the European Central Bank. His research and teaching activities focus on European monetary politics.
