DFG Emmy Noether Program
The Emmy Noether Program gives exceptionally qualified early career researchers the chance to qualify for the post of professor at a university by leading an independent junior research group for a period of six years.
The program is open to postdocs and junior professors regardless of discipline with temporary contracts who are at an early stage in their research careers – normally up to 4 years after completion of the doctorate.
Holders of a junior professorship with a positive interim evaluation can no longer apply for the Emmy Noether Program or receive funding.
There is no general submission deadline and proposals might be submitted at any time. It takes around 8 months after the application for the final decision to be made.
