Paul Celan Visiting Fellowship 2025-2026

Due to technical problems we had to close the application webform until further notice. We will keep you informed about further updates and ask for your understanding. Thank you for your patience!

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 brief letter of motivation that addresses how the project would benefit from time at the IWM, the connection to the IWM’s mission and research, and concrete research/writing goals during the fellowship
• A project description (max. 550 characters)
• A project proposal (max. 6,000 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.

Further information can be found on our website.
