The Dahlem Research School at Freie Universität Berlin has established a new research fellowship program called COFUND for international researchers. The program is co-funded by the Marie Curie COFUND program of the European Commission. Its purpose is to reinforce the international dimension of junior researchers by supporting highly-qualified postdocs from abroad.

For this purpose, Dahlem Research School offers

Postdoctoral Fellowships

Starting in January 2012, each research fellowship is awarded for fifteen months to support postdocs carrying out their research projects in one of Freie Universität’s Excellence Programs.

We expect you to propose your own project plan focusing on the research area of your own choice, based on the research areas of the participating Excellence Programs.

The program is designed to support the further academic career development of the researchers by enhancing their research experience integrated in excellent research groups, by facilitating new co-operations in a stimulating research environment, as well as by promoting their teaching and leadership skills. Aiming at submitting a successful grant application for a subsequent project at the Freie Universität by the end of the fellowship, the program will provide professional guidance essential to preparing grant proposals.

Deadline for applications: August 31st 2011

Incomplete applications and applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered. Please check your documents carefully before submission.
