Postdoctoral Fellows
Postdoctoral Fellowships at University of Hamburg
Universität Hamburg was awarded funding for 4 clusters of excellence in the Excellence Strategy of the Federal and State Governments. It was also declared a University of Excellence. As part of its Excellence application, the University is awarding postdoctoral fellowships to especially qualified early career researchers from Germany and abroad. The funding program gives early career researchers an opportunity to lead their own research project in preparation for the next step in their career, for example an appointment to a junior professorship, a W2 professorship, or leading a junior research group.
Prospective fellows apply by proposing their own research project. This should have links with one of University of Hamburg’s emerging fields:
- Health Economics
- Neurosciences and Cognitive Systems
- Law in Global Contexts
- Early Modern World
- Grounds, Norms, Decisions
The Hamburg Research Academy supports postdoctoral fellows on their career paths with an array of services.
