Bithell Visiting Fellowship in German Studies
The ILCS is delighted to be able to offer funding for a researcher in the field of German Studies wishing to spend three to six months in the Institute, its Library and Archives, during the academic year 2023-24. The Visiting Fellowship is sponsored by the Bithell Trust, set up in memory of Jethro Bithell and Alice Emily Bithell, generous donors to the Institute of Germanic Studies (forerunner of the ILCS). German Studies includes the literature, language and culture of the German-speaking countries.
The Fellowship is open to any applicant from the UK and overseas. Applicants should have completed their doctorate and have defended the dissertation by the time they take up the Fellowship. Preference will be given to candidates who have published at least one journal article and can demonstrate plans for further academic publications.
An award of up to £7,500 is available which is designed to provide a contribution to temporary living expenses whilst in London and/or enable those in employment to take leave to further their studies.

Sylvia Naish Fellowships and Scholarship in Germanic Studies
Endowed by a generous bequest from the estate of Sylvia Naish, up to two Fellowships or Scholarships are offered annually for research into any area of German language and literature at the ILCS and its Germanic Studies Library and Archives. The awards are designed to assist scholars in the early stages of their careers, to provide a contribution to temporary living expenses in London or enable those in employment to take leave to further their studies. Fellowships/Scholarships should not be held concurrently with another fellowship or award.
Sylvia Naish Research Fellowships provide funding of up to £2,500 and are open to post-doctoral applicants domiciled in the UK or in one of the German-speaking countries, who wish to spend a minimum of one month at the Institute.

Miller Fellowships in Exile Studies
Sponsored by the Martin Miller and Hannah Norbert-Miller Trust, funding is available for researchers in the field of German-speaking exile in the UK wishing to work at the Institute's Germanic Studies Library and its Archives. The Exile Archive dates to 1996-97, when the collection was established at the then Institute of Germanic Studies (of which the ILCS is the successor).
The Institute already held the papers of several individuals such as Rudolf Majut, Herbert Thoma and Berthold Auerbach, who were exiled from Germany and Austria during the 1930s as a result of persecution under the National Socialist regime. Since the Research Centre for German & Austrian Exile Studies was set up, the Institute has attracted further significant donations and bequests, among the most important being the papers of the Anglo-Austrian Society and the archive of Martin Miller and Hannah Norbert-Miller.
The Fellowship(s) are open to applicants from the UK and overseas. Candidates should have completed their doctorate and have a strong publications record. The Fellowship(s) are designed to provide a contribution to temporary living expenses in London, or to enable those in employment to take leave to further their studies. Awards are typically made for periods of between one and three months.
