Description:
The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies
(FRIAS) is the University of Freiburg’s
international research college. The Institute
supports innovative research projects through
individual fellowships.
The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies
announces the following
Individual FCFP fellowships for the academic
year 2015/16
(Fellowships start: September 1, 2015)
- Junior fellowships (completed PhD plus
initial - one to six years - post-doctoral
experience)
- Senior fellowships (completed PhD plus a
minimum of six years post-doctoral
experience)
The FCFP is intended for current or future
leaders in their fields. About 20 FCFP
fellowships are awarded through a highly
competitive, strictly merit-based selection
process. Applications are invited from
academics of all nationalities and all
disciplines. Note, however, that during the
3-year period prior to the application
deadline, applicants may not (a) have carried
out their main activity (work, studies, etc.)
or (b) have had their main residence in Germany
for more than a total of 12 months.
Fellowships of 3 to 12 months in the Senior
scheme and of 12 months (humanities and social
sciences) or up to 24 months (natural sciences,
medicine, engineering) in the Junior scheme may
be applied for. They will allow researchers to
conduct their own research projects.
Fellowships are awarded to individuals with
challenging and innovative research projects of
high academic quality. The determining
selection criteria are the academic excellence
of both the applicant and of the project
proposal. Personal qualifications with regard
to international expertise, leadership skills
and interdisciplinary interest are also taken
into account during the evaluation of the
applications. Application is open to proposals
from all disciplines that can be supported at
the University of Freiburg.
Successful applicants will become FRIAS
fellows. Each fellow will receive an
internationally attractive living allowance
(Junior: E 13 TV-L, Senior: W3-equivalent
professorial salary, additional regulations
apply for applicants with unlimited work
contracts at their home institution), mobility
allowance and a research cost contribution
(theoretical sciences: up to 450 € per month,
experimental sciences: up to 1.050 € per
month). A mentoring program is put in place for
each Junior Fellow in her/his career
development.
FRIAS unites research in the humanities and
social sciences, the natural sciences,
engineering and medicine. It is the aim of the
Institute to support academic exchange across
existing boundaries: between disciplines,
between different cultures and countries,
between established and younger
researchers.
The institute provides its fellows with modern
office space and an up-to-date infrastructure.
Fellows have full access to all library
services from one of the leading German
university libraries. Special attention is
given to fellows who plan to come to Freiburg
together with their families.
The FCFP call for applications is co-financed
by the European Union’s Seventh Framework
Program (FP7) “Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions –
People” (co-funding of regional, national and
international programs) and the State of
Baden-Württemberg.
The completed FCFP application form together
with the required documents has to be uploaded
on the application website for External Senior
Fellowships or Junior Fellowships and submitted
by October 15, 2014.
Application Deadline: 15-Oct-2014
