Applications must be submitted through the IWM's online application form; we will be unable to consider applications sent via email.

Application materials consist of the following:

a project description (max. 550 characters)
a project proposal (max. 7,500 characters incl. spaces)
a curriculum vitae with a bibliography of translations and other relevant publications
a contract or a letter of intent from a publisher
proof that the translator/publisher holds the rights to the translation and its publication (or has an option on them)

All application materials should be in English.

Important! Attached documents must be combined into a single PDF, as the online submission form only allows for one attachment. File names of attachments must use Latin characters.

Applications are due 21 January 2025, 23:59 CET. Candidates will be informed of the outcome of their application in the spring semester of 2025.
