    Visiting Scholarship

    Application deadline 15 January and 15 July each

    Funding for research stays abroad

    With this innovative programme, the Faculty of Sciences is offering scholarships to support outstanding young female researchers from the Faculty with research stays abroad of a maximum of 4 months. Chairs at the Faculty can host international female researchers for a limited period of research if they have received this scholarship. This financial support is also offered to German female researchers who are already on research stays abroad for a longer period and who would like to return to Germany.

    Funding objective

    Scholarships are awarded to female researchers at FAU with above-average achievements, who are planning a research stay abroad and who are completing their doctoral degree, or postdoctoral/habilitation research at the Faculty of Sciences. The scholarships are also available to provide funding to young female researchers with above-average achievements from outside the University who are planning a research stay at FAU and who are currently in a comparable qualification phase.

    Funding is subject to availability.

    Funding is awarded to women who plan to pursue their research career with the aim of becoming a professor.
