Submit an application if you are a researcher from abroad with above average qualifications, at the beginning of your academic career and only completed your doctorate in the last four years.
A Humboldt Research Fellowship for postdoctoral researchers allows you to carry out a long-term research project (6-24 months) you have selected yourself in cooperation with an academic host you have selected yourself at a research institution in Germany.
Scientists and scholars of all nationalities and disciplines may apply to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation directly at any time.
The Humboldt Foundation grants approximately 600 Humboldt Research Fellowships for postdoctoral researchers and experienced researchers annually.
Short-term study visits, participation in congresses and training courses cannot be financed.
Applications may be sent to the following address at any time:
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Selection Department,
Jean-Paul-Str. 12, 53173 Bonn, Germany
Selection committee meetings take place three times a year, in February, May/June and October. Reviewing the applications takes three to six months. Therefore, applications should be submitted well before the Selection Committee Meeting targeted.
It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that he or she has submitted all the necessary documents. Applications not submitted as a single entity will take longer to process. The documents required in addition to the application documents, i.e. the confidential statement by the proposed host and the signed confirmation of research facilities, can be submitted at the same time as the application to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation directly.
Subsequently, independent peer reviewers assess the applications.
Candidates will be notified about the Selection Committee's decision immediately after the meeting.
