Call for Applications for DRS Incoming Postdoc Fellowships - COFUND-2014 and POINT/REGAIN-2014



The Dahlem Research School's Postdoc Fellowship Program - co-financed
by the German Excellence Initiative and the Marie Curie Program of the
European Commission - provides funding for outstanding postdoctoral
researchers from all disciplines to conduct their own research project
at Freie Universität Berlin. The aim is to support highly-qualified
postdoctoral researchers who are outstanding in their field and to
integrate them into one of the university's research groups in an
early phase of their career.

The program is designed to promote the further academic career
development through research funding, a tailored qualification program
including essential professional guidance on preparing grant
proposals, and the opportunity to develop teaching and leadership
skills. At the end of the funding period, DRS fellows are expected to
apply for funding for follow-up research projects at Freie Universität
Berlin.
