About this program
The Leo Baeck Institute (New York) offers the Gerald Westheimer Career Development Fellowship—two annual awards of up to $25,000 (for the period July 1–June 30) to support early-career research or professional projects on historical or cultural aspects of the Jewish experience in German‑speaking lands, with possible renewal for a second year. Funds may be used for scholarly materials, temporary research/production help, membership dues, travel, computing/copying/communication expenses, and a summer stipend for non‑tenured academics. Eligible applicants are early‑career scholars who have completed the doctoral degree but have not yet received tenure; applications must include a proposal (maximum two pages) with a budget, curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, and supporting materials (outline, draft chapters, or prior publications). Applications are submitted by email to Dr. Frank Mecklenburg and the program is administered by the Leo Baeck Institute; no deadline is specified.
