HUMBOLDT POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: March, July and November (Annually)

LOCATION: Germany

The Humboldt Research Fellowship for researchers of all nationalities and research areas: They support you with your research in Germany.

The programme is part of the Global Minds Initiative Germany of the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.

Through the Humboldt Research Fellowship, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation sponsors researchers with above-average qualifications from across the globe.

ELIGIBILITY:

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation aims to achieve a good balance between genders and a high level of diversity among its fellows in all areas. They therefore expressly invite female scientists and members of underrepresented groups to apply. They welcome all applications, regardless of ethnic, cultural or social background, gender identity, age, religion, worldview, disability or sexual orientation.

Nationality: You are not a German national

For your application to be successful, you may not have lived in Germany for longer than a total of six months within the 18-month period prior to submitting your application.

If you have arrived in Germany recently, you should submit your application as soon as possible, as we can only assess your eligibility and formally accept your application after it has been submitted.

Language Skills: Natural sciences and engineering: You must have a good knowledge of German or English. 
Humanities, social sciences and medicine: You must have a good knowledge of German if this is necessary for conducting your research successfully. Otherwise, good knowledge of English will suffice.

Postdocs: Did you complete your doctorate—or equivalent academic qualification—during the last four years? Or are you within six months of completing your doctorate and can already provide a written summary of your findings? Have you been published in academic journals and by publishing houses that are reviewed according to international standards? If so, and if you fulfill the criteria under the “What is required of you” section, apply for the Humboldt Research Fellowship for postdocs.

Experienced Researchers: Did you complete your doctorate—or equivalent academic qualification—during the last twelve years? Is your academic profile substantiated by an extensive list of publications in academic journals and by publishing houses that are reviewed according to international standards? If so, and if you fulfill the criteria under the “What is required of you” section, apply for the Humboldt Research Fellowship for experienced researchers.
If a doctorate in your field or country of origin is not possible or uncommon, you can still apply up to 16 years after completing your master’s or other postgraduate degree, provided that you have a publication record commensurate with your career level.

BENEFIT:

Postdocs: Benefit from research sponsorship in Germany at the beginning of your academic career. The Humboldt Research Fellowship for postdocs enables you to conduct research in Germany. The monthly fellowship amount is €2,700 plus additional benefits. Fellowships may last from 6 to 24 months and can be divided into up to three stays within three years. 

Experienced Researchers: You can still apply for research sponsorship in Germany even if you are already well advanced in your academic career. The Humboldt Research Fellowship for experienced researchers enables you to conduct research in Germany. The fellowship amount is €3,200 plus additional benefits. Fellowships may last from 6 to 18 months and can be divided into up to three stays within three years.
