Opportunities

EHRI-UK National Research Fellowship

The EHRI-UK National Research Fellowship Programme is designed to support and stimulate Holocaust research conducted by researchers, archivists, librarians, curators, and early career scholars, especially PhD candidates with limited resources, based at institutions in the United Kingdom and British Isles. Projects will be considered within the Holocaust broadly conceived, including its prehistory, its aftermath, and the role of antisemitism before, during and after World War II.  EHRI-UK Research Fellowships cover a stipend for travel, accommodation, and subsistence for access lasting between 1 and 4 weeks at one of the following host institutions:

  • The Wiener Holocaust Library (London)
  • Holocaust Centre North (Huddersfield)
  • The National Archives (London)
  • The Imperial War Museum (London)​

Other host institutions will be added in the future.

What does the EHRI-UK National Research Fellowship provide?

The EHRI-UK National Research Fellowship is open to applicants based at institutions in the UK and British Isles. Fellows are provided access and/or expertise at the requested host institution for 1-4 weeks. In addition to a stipend for travel, accommodation, and subsistence, provided as reimbursement upon completion of the Fellowship, at the host institution Fellows will have a designated contact, opportunities for guided tours or assistance with collections, and access to archival and/or research expertise. They will also have the opportunity to take part in possible relevant activities taking place at the institution during their stay (such as events, research meetings, discussions, workshops, and conferences). 

Fellows may apply to both EHRI-UK National Research Fellowships and the Conny Kristel Fellowship programme, which provides transnational research opportunities and which will be launched separated in 2025.

Fellows may request to present their research at their chosen host institution, and will be encouraged to join the EHRI-UK National Research Fellowship Alumni Network as well as to disseminate news and photos about their Fellowship. They will have the opportunity to disseminate their research on the EHRI Document Blog and other channels the host institution might offer. 

Upon completion of the Fellowship, EHRI-UK Fellows will be asked to submit a short report and evaluation, and to include due credit in publications resulting from research conducted during the Fellowship. All details are made available to the Fellow through a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Fellow and EHRI-UK.
