Bremen Postdoctoral Fellowships

Bremen Postdoctoral Fellowships A79/11

The outstanding quality of research at the University of Bremen, one of 
Germany’s premier research universities, stems not the least from the 
continuous support for younger academics to conduct independent research.
The University of Bremen invites - under the condition of job release- 
postdoctoral researchers to apply for seven

Postdoctoral Fellowships

with self-designed projects in the natural sciences and engineering as 
well as in the humanities and social sciences. In principle the 
positions could be established in any research area and shall enable the 
fellows to conduct an independent research project. Nevertheless, the 
integration in an academic unit at the University of Bremen is 
fundamental for an application.

The university offers two alternative postdoctoral fellowships:
Recently graduated postdoctoral researchers (up to one year after having 
been awarded their doctorate) are invited to apply for a temporary 
position for up to two years. Fellows will be enabled to develop an 
independent research project and to write an application for third-party 
funding in their first year. The prolongation of the position for the 
second year depends on the submission of a funding proposal.
For advanced postdoctoral researchers (one to four years after having 
received their doctorate), the university offers a position for up to 
four years to conduct independent research. With only a minimum of 
teaching requirements, these positions enable younger researchers to 
carry out ambitious research projects within their international 
academic discipline.

Postdoctoral fellows will receive a competitive salary (pay grade E 13 
TV-L or up to E 14 TV-L for advanced researchers) plus expenses for 
various activities, such as conference and workshop participation and/or 
organization, field research (in Germany or abroad) and publication 
costs.  The University offers an academic environment which ensures that 
fellows enjoy extensive support from senior academics in their field. 
Furthermore, fellows will be given support by the human resources 
department and the academic department in order to foster their academic 
career.

As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female 
employees in science women are particularly encouraged to apply. In case 
of equal personal aptitudes and qualification disabled persons will be 
given priority. Applicants with a migration background are welcome.

Applicants are expected to have an outstanding doctoral degree, a 
significant publication record, and an excellent individual research 
project (advanced researchers) or project idea (recent graduates). 
Applications must be accompanied by a declaration of the Bremen 
University Professor who will support the project.

Applications must be submitted online by
1 June 2011.
