The Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History, Potsdam (Leibniz-Zentrum f\u00fcr Zeithistorische Forschung, Potsdam, ZZF) is pleased to invite applications for three Visiting Fellowships during the academic year 2020 to work within research group \u201cLegacies of Communism? Post<\/strong>\u2010Communist Europe from Stagnation to Reform, between Autocracy and Revolution\u201d.<\/strong> All fellowships cover a period of two months. They will provide an opportunity to pursue individual research as well as to participate in the scholarly community at the ZZF and in the Berlin metropolitan area. Fellows will be part of an international team including PhD\u2010candidates as well as senior researchers who work on the history of late socialism and post-communism in Eastern Europe and the post-Soviet space.<\/p>\n

Generously supported by the Leibniz Association, the interdisciplinary research network \u201cLegacies of Communism\u201c with partners in six countries is hosted by the ZZF in Potsdam. It focuses on historical research of the political and social development of Eastern Europe and the former USSR from late socialism to post-communism. The project explores changes and continuities of political and social elites in post-communist countries across the 1989\/1991 divide. It aims to better understand and interpret the rise of authoritarian rule in post-communist societies. In order to approach the legacies of communist rule, senior and junior fellows working from Ukraine, Estonia, Georgia, Poland and Hungary will contribute to the endeavor with their own projects.<\/p>\n

The two-month fellowships will provide an opportunity to pursue individual research in the Berlin-Brandenburg area while participating in the academic life of one of Germany\u2019s major historical research centres. Founded in 1992, the ZZF covers a broad scope of Contemporary European History.<\/p>\n
