Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft: Emmy-Noether-Programm

The Emmy Noether Programme 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 programme is open to postdocs and junior professors with temporary contracts who are at an early stage in their research careers.

Young researchers from all disciplines are eligible to apply, generally up to 4 years after completing their doctorate (usually at least two years of postdoctoral experience) with substantial international research experience. Applicants from abroad are expected to continue their academic career in Germany after receiving funding. A written letter of intent must be enclosed with the application.
