What kind of projects can I propose for Einstein Fellowship?
Your proposed project must not be part of your dissertation or thesis, and the application documents must be in English. Otherwise, there are no limitations on the project you may propose as long as you can defend your idea as interesting, original, and feasible during the fellowship period. Please also consider whether the facilities available to you here would suitably allow you to pursue your project.
How different should my proposed project be from my previous work for Einstein Fellowship?
There is no hard and fast rule, nor is there a formula for how the proposal should look. All you need to demonstrate is that you have not already done work– e.g. master’s theses, published essays, books, etc.– directly related to your proposed project. You should have already given significant thought to your project idea.
Can I propose two projects for Einstein Fellowship?
The fellowship is awarded for just one project. As such, we recommend focusing on strengthening just one proposal.
Should I attach the letters of reference in my application, or should my recommenders send them separately for Einstein Fellowship?
We will accept both, but we recommend that your reference letters be emailed to us directly by their respective authors.
Is TOEFL/IELTS required for Einstein Fellowship?
We require only the documents listed. We do not require TOEFL/IELTS results in your application, as your application should already reflect mastery of English.
When will I hear back about my application for Einstein Fellowship?
We will acknowledge receipt of your submission as soon as possible. The application review and interview processes begin in June, with final decisions released by the end of July.
When does the Einstein Fellowship take place?
Although the exact dates are flexible, the 5-6 month period of the fellowship should preferably take place during the summer months. The start and end dates will be agreed upon with the fellow after acceptance of the fellowship.
