Call for Applications: Daimler and Benz Foundation, 2024 Scholarship Program for Postdocs and Junior Professors
Each year, the Daimler and Benz Foundation awards twelve scholarships (two of them in cooperation with the Reinhard Frank-Foundation) to selected postdoc researchers, junior professors, and heads of junior research groups. The objective is to reinforce the autonomy and creativity of the up-and-coming generation of scientists and to pave the way for the committed researchers’ careers during their productive postdoc phase.
The scholarships are intended to support postdocs at German research institutions, especially junior professors or academics at an early stage or their careers, such as autonomous heads of junior research groups.
The funding amounts to €40,000 per scholarship for a period of two years and can be used for various purposes, for example to finance scientific assistants, technical equipment, research trips or participation in conferences. Any other funding received by the applicant is not offset against the scholarship.
The funding program is open to applicants from all scientific disciplines; there are no restrictions regarding subject area. The Foundation is particularly pleased to receive applications from the hitherto underrepresented fields of the humanities, social sciences, and cultural studies.
Applications, in German or English, must be complete and must be received via the online application portal you will find on the homepage of the foundation by October 1, 2023 (11:59 p.m.).
