Description:

Marie S. Curie FRIAS COFUND Fellowship Programme (FCFP)

The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) is the University of
Freiburg’s international research college. The Institute supports innovative
research projects through individual fellowships.

The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies announces the following

Individual Marie S. Curie FCFP fellowships for the academic year 2018/19
(Fellowships start: September 1, 2018)

- Junior fellowships (completed PhD plus one to six years of post-doctoral
experience)
- Senior fellowships (completed PhD plus a minimum of six years of
post-doctoral experience or a tenured professorship or equivalent permanent
position)

The FCFP is intended for current or future leaders in their fields. About 25
FCFP fellowships are awarded through a highly competitive, strictly
merit-based selection process. Applications are invited from academics of all
nationalities and all disciplines. Note, however, that applicants may not have
resided or have carried out their main activity in Germany for more than a
total of 12 months during the 3-year period prior to the application deadline.

Fellowships of 3 to 10 months in the senior scheme and of 12 months in the
junior scheme may be applied for. FRIAS offers the opportunity for FCFP Junior
Fellows to prolong the fellowship for up to three months for secondments in
and collaboration with non-academic partner institutions in Freiburg and the
region. 

Fellowships are awarded to individuals with challenging and innovative
research projects of top academic quality. The all-important selection
criteria are the academic excellence of both the applicant and the project
proposal. Personal qualifications with regard to experience and capability to
conduct the research project will also be taken into account during the
evaluation of the applications. 

Application is open to proposals from all disciplines that can be supported at
the University of Freiburg.

Successful applicants will become FRIAS fellows. Each fellow will receive an
internationally attractive living allowance (junior: ca. 4.600 € per month
pre-tax; senior: ca. 6.700 € per month pre-tax, additional regulations apply
for applicants with unlimited work contracts at their home institution), a
research cost contribution (theoretical sciences: up to 450 € per month,
experimental sciences: up to 1.050 € per month), a budget for individual
training, a travel allowance and a mobility allowance. Fellows accompanied by
at least one child receive an additional monthly family allowance.

FRIAS unites research in the humanities and social sciences, the natural and
life sciences, engineering, and medicine. The Institute supports academic
exchange across existing boundaries: between disciplines, between different
cultures and countries, between established and younger researchers.

The institute provides its fellows with modern office space and an up-to-date
infrastructure. Fellows have full access to all library services from one of
the leading German university libraries. Special attention is given to fellows
who plan to come to Freiburg together with their families. 

The FCFP call for applications is co-financed by the European Union through
the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme “Marie Skłodowska-Curie
Action, People, Co-funding of regional, national and international programs
(COFUND)". 

The completed FCFP application form together with the required documents has
to be uploaded on the application website for External Senior Fellowships or
Junior Fellowships and submitted by October 10, 2017.

Application Deadline: 10-Oct-2017
