They will cooperate with the group’s senior researchers and participate in the academic exchange of the Research Group and expected to complete a peer-reviewed publication project during their fellowship.

  3. Candidates from outside Europe are particularly encouraged to apply.
  4. Applicants are not expected to speak German.
