The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) is the University of Freiburg’s international research college. It is at the centre of a very active research community and has since its creation in 2008 acquired an international reputation for academic excellence. The institute supports innovative research projects through individual and group fellowships.
FRIAS is offering individual Marie S. Curie FRIAS COFUND Fellowships for the 2023/24 academic year. Up to 15 FCFP fellowships are available to researchers from all nationalities and disciplines.
The current call invites applications for Junior [completed PhD plus one to six years of post-doctoral experience] and Senior [completed PhD plus a minimum of six years of post-doctoral experience or a tenured professorship or equivalent permanent position] fellowships. Successful applicants will conduct their fellowship between September 2023 and September 2024.
Applications are welcome from all disciplines that can be supported at the University of Freiburg.
According to the EU mobility rule, applicants may not (a) have resided or (b) have carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in Germany for more than a total of 12 months during the 3-year period prior to the application deadline. Compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account.
Fellows receive a living allowance, mobility allowance and a research cost contribution. All fellows will have at their disposal a budget for individual training activities and travel costs. Additionally, fellows accompanied by at least one child receive an additional monthly family allowance.
The Institute provides its fellows with modern office space and an up-to-date infrastructure. Accommodation is available through the university guest house and additional centrally located apartments. Fellows have full access to all library services from one of the leading German university libraries. Special attention is drawn to supporting fellows who plan to come to Freiburg together with their families.
