The Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society and Herrmannsdorfer Landwerkstätten invites applications for a Landhaus Fellowship Program that will be based in Herrmannsdorf. The Landhaus Fellowship Program is a residential program. Altogether, ten fellows will live and work together in the newly renovated historic house on the Herrmannsdorfer organic farm outside Munich. These fellowships are open to excellent doctoral, post-doctoral, and senior scholars who are working in the field of environment and society.

Fellows at the RCC Landhaus will have their own bedroom and bathroom and will share kitchen, dining, and living spaces, which include a spacious conference room and large outdoor terrace and garden. Landhaus fellows will also be integrated into the academic life of the RCC in Munich; they will be allocated a workspace there, have full access to libraries and academic support, and will attend regular events at the center.

Fellowship Benefits and Coverage

• The Landhaus fellowship includes the use of a single-occupancy room with its own bathroom in the RCC Landhaus. Fellows will also receive a monthly stipend to cover basic living costs (food and transport) based on their career level at the start of the fellowship; the monthly stipend will be adjusted somewhat depending on the exact terms and conditions of the fellowship.
• Fellows will also receive a monthly food voucher for the on-site farm shop to the value of 125 Euros. Additionally, the RCC will provide assistance with local transportation (e-bikes, subsidies for train travel to Munich, etc.). Unfortunately, the RCC is not in a position to reimburse travel costs to and from Munich/Herrmannsdorf from the fellow’s country of origin.
