The COFUND Program supports promising junior researchers in their further academic career development through

• integration into excellent research groups and facilitation of new co-operations in a stimulating research environment
• development of teaching and leadership skills
• professional guidance on obtaining research

At the end of the funding period, COFUND fellows are expected to apply for further funding for a subsequent research project at Freie Universität Berlin.

For this purpose, Dahlem Research School offers 7 Postdoctoral Fellowships. Starting in April 2013, each research fellowship is awarded for fifteen months to support postdocs in carrying out a research project. We invite postdocs to propose their own project plan based around the research areas of one of the participating Excellence Programs.

Deadline for applications: 31 August 2012
