\nSubmit 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<\/strong>. A Humboldt Research Fellowship for postdoctoral researchers allows you to carry out long-term research (6-24 months) in Germany. Applicants choose their own topic of research and their academic host.<\/div>\n
\nScientists and scholars of all nationalities and disciplines may apply to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation online at any time. In recent years, approximately 25% to 30% of applications were successful. Short-term study visits, participation in congresses and training courses cannot be financed.<\/div>\n
\nEligible academics from developing and emerging countries may apply for a Georg Forster Fellowship<\/a>.<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Doctorate<\/strong> or comparable academic degree (Ph.D., C.Sc. or equivalent), completed less than four years prior to the date of application. Candidates who have nearly completed their doctoral degrees are eligible to apply provided that they submit the manuscript of their dissertation or publications containing the results of their dissertation.<\/li>\n
  2. Academic publications<\/strong> reviewed according to international standards and printed in journals and\/or by publishing houses.<\/li>\n
  3. Confirmation that research facilities are available and mentoring agreement and a detailed expert’s report<\/strong> by an academic host at a research institution in Germany. Details of the research outline including information on the intended duration of the fellowship must be agreed with the intended host before applying.<\/li>\n
  4. Expert reviews<\/strong> from the doctoral supervisor and one other academic qualified to give well-founded comments on the applicant’s eligibility, preferably including a reviewer not working at the applicant’s own institute.<\/li>\n
  5. Language skills:<\/strong> scholars in the humanities or social sciences and physicians must have a good knowledge of German if it is necessary to carry out the research successfully; otherwise a good knowledge of English; scientists and engineers must have a good knowledge of German or English.<\/li>\n
  6. Applications to continue a research stay already underway can only be considered in exceptional cases. Foreign academics staying in Germany are eligible to apply if they have lived outside Germany for a minimum of 12 months in total in the 18-month period prior to submission of the application. Any time spent in Germany within those 18 months is taken into account, regardless of duration or reason. German citizens and\/or educational residents are generally ineligible to apply if they have been in Germany within the last 18 months prior to receipt of their application or are already in Germany at the time of applying. For more details, please check our FAQ<\/li>\n
  7. The Humboldt-Foundation assumes that candidates will abide the Rules of Good Scientific Practice <\/a>and the legally-binding principles of scientific ethics during the application and sponsorship periods.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
