*The Berlin Prize*
*Call for Applications 2017/2018*

The American Academy in Berlin invites applications for its residential
fellowships for the academic year 2017/2018. The *deadline is Friday,
September 30, 2016* (12 noon EST or 6 pm CET). Applications may be
submitted online or mailed to the Berlin office.

The Academy welcomes applications from emerging and established scholars,
writers, and professionals who wish to engage in independent study in
Berlin. Approximately 20 Berlin Prizes are conferred annually. Past
recipients have included historians, economists, poets and novelists,
journalists, legal scholars, anthropologists, musicologists, and public
policy experts, among others.

Fellowships are typically awarded for an academic semester or, on occasion,
for an entire academic year. Bosch Fellowships in Public Policy may be
awarded for shorter stays of six to eight weeks. Benefits include
round-trip airfare, partial board, a $5,000 monthly stipend, and
accommodations at the Academy’s lakeside Hans Arnhold Center in the
Berlin-Wannsee district.

Fellowships are restricted to candidates based permanently in the US. US
citizenship is not required, and American expatriates are not eligible.
Candidates in academic disciplines are expected to have completed a
doctorate at the time of application. Applicants working in most other
fields – such as journalism, law, filmmaking, or public policy – must have
equivalent professional degrees. Writers must have published at least one
book at the time of application. Candidates should explain how their
projects will benefit from a residency in Berlin, but they do not need to
be working on German topics.

Please note that the Inga Maren Otto Berlin Prize in Music Composition and
the Guna S. Mundheim Berlin Prize in the Visual Arts are invitation-only
competitions. We also do not accept applications in mathematics and the
hard sciences.

Following a peer-reviewed evaluation process, an independent Selection
Committee reviews finalist applications. The 2017/2018 Berlin Prizes will
be announced in late February 2017.
