The Rising Star Fellowship Programme of the Department of Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy seeks to attract outstanding early-career researchers (who have completed their doctorates within the last four years) preferably from abroad.

The Rising Star fellows will take part in the research activities of their host-research groups, will be absorbed into existing research networks (CRCs, BBIB, PhD research groups, etc.) and will publish their results together with them.

The fellowship is valued at 2,5oo € per month for two years. Additional benefits for research costs, mobility, family members and health insurance are provided (for details see PDF).

• CV with list of publications

• References from two research groups within the Department of Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy

The Fellowship Programme is intended to forge new connections and to further interdisciplinary research. Research fellows may not have had any close relationship with Freie Universität. Former doctoral graduates and employees of Freie Universität cannot be considered.
