Call for proposals for eight Humboldt Postdoctoral
Fellowships
(temporary positions, full time, public sector pay scale
13)
Starting August 1, 2013 Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin
is offering
eight fellowships for postdoctoral researchers. The fellowships
are
funded by the German federal and state governments’
Excellence
Initiative and will be awarded for up to 36 months.
Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowships are geared towards
outstanding young
researchers who wish to conduct a postdoctoral research
project at
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The call is aimed at
researchers who
have completed an outstanding PhD project and have
international
research experience. In order to be considered for the
fellowship
researchers are required to submit a proposal for an
excellent and
original project they plan to conduct during their stay
at
Humboldt-Universitaet. The proposed project should fit
well with the
research structure at Humboldt-Universität.
Young researchers from all disciplines are invited to
submit
applications.
Candidates will be selected on the basis of their
previous academic
achievements, their postdoctoral project proposal, and
their
international network of contacts. The search committee
is comprised of
professors, post-docs, and doctoral students from a
variety of
disciplines.
Your application should include the following:
* a standard application form, including an academic CV
* a description of the post-doctoral project, including
main research
objectives (max. two pages)
* a list of publications
* a letter of recommendation (preferably from your PhD
advisor)
* a statement by your prospective host institution at
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
* a copy of your thesis and one additional significant
publication from
the last two years (specialist article, lecture, book
chapter)
The search committee may consult outside experts from the
respective
research field in the process of preparing its decisions.
Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin is committed to promoting
gender
equality in research. One aim of the postdoctoral
fellowships is to
increase the number of young female researchers at the
university.
Female post-docs are therefore particularly encouraged to
apply for the
fellowships.
Please submit the required application documents to the
search
committee at Humboldt Graduate School by 5 April 2013.
