Who is new in our fellow community?
In the past year, the Zukunftskolleg community was enriched by numerous great people.
In this chapter, you will find our new members listed according to the different fellowships/support measures that we offer.
2-year Postdoctoral Fellows and 5-year Research Fellows resulting from the 16th Fellowship call + Philipp di Dio, 5-year Research Fellow from the 15th Fellowship call:
2-year Postdoctoral Fellows are in the early stage of their academic career and plan to develop and implement an independent research project.
5-year Research Fellows are researchers with significant work experience at postdoctoral level who are aiming for a career in academia. The fellows build their own academic identity by leading an independent research group at the University of Konstanz.

“I have continued to work on the material I presented in talks at the Zukunftskolleg and the Centre for Cultural Inquiry on Marx and the politics of the Civil War in the US; on the continuing history of blackface and racial politics, which never seems to die; and on politics and popular music. On the latter in particular, Jacob has been a great interlocutor and resource; we try to outdo each other with insights, backstories and research finds, which is both fun and productive. It’s been a pleasure to work with him through his various manuscript preparations and publication protocols.”
Associated Fellows
Associated Fellows of the Zukunftskolleg are project staff, doctoral researchers and external cooperation partners of the Fellows and Senior Fellows. Associated Fellowships are granted for the duration of one year on application only. Beneficiaries of the Zukunftskolleg’s funding programmes or members of the University of Konstanz whose field of work is related to that of the research units represented in the Zukunftskolleg can also apply for an Associated Fellowship.
The current Associated Fellows (who joined the Zukunftskolleg in 2021/2022) are:
ZUKOnnect & Herz Fellows
The Zukunftskolleg Konnect Fellowships support early career researchers from Africa, Asia and Latin America who are associated with one of the thirteen departments at the University of Konstanz. ZUKOnnect Fellows can use this time to extend their research networks and familiarize themselves with the research environment at the University of Konstanz while keeping their position at home.
The following ZUKOnnect and Herz Fellows joined the Zukunftskolleg on 1 July 2022 virtually for one year. They are on campus for three to four months from the autumn of 2022 onwards:
Research Visit Fellows
Research Visits are intended to enhance international research cooperation and to support international mobility. The Zukunftskolleg provides funding for Research Visits for international early career researchers (Invited Research Visits), Research Visits for international early career researchers from partner research institutions (Network Research Visits) and Research Visits for Zukunftskolleg Fellows (Outgoing Research Visits). The duration of a Research Visit in either direction should range from one to three months.
