Alfried Krupp Fellowships at Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald
The Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald aims to appoint up to 6 Alfried Krupp Senior Fellows and up to 8 Alfried Krupp Junior Fellows during the academic year 2024/25.
The Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald is an independent institute for advanced study located in the center of the historic city of Greifswald near the Baltic Sea. 2002, the Kolleg was established by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Stiftung in cooperation with the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the University of Greifswald to advance the excellence and the international research profile of the University of Greifswald.
The Alfried Krupp Fellows program, which is a major pillar of the Kolleg’s work, was launched in 2007 and has since been generously funded by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation. The program gives senior and younger scientists the opportunity to focus on a major research project, free from teaching and administrative obligations of normal university life.
Alfried Krupp Senior Fellowships will be awarded to outstanding senior scientists who are qualified by their achievements in research and teaching. Alfried Krupp Junior Fellowships will be awarded to highly promising younger post-doctoral scholars.
Fellows will be invited for one semester (October 1 – March 31 or April 1 – September 30) or for an academic year (October 1 – September 30). An office and an apartment in the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg will be offered to each fellow free of charge. In addition, fellows will be awarded a monthly fellowship that takes into account the high expectations concerning the fellows’ scientific achievements. The Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg supports applicants who would like to pursue their fellowship accompanied by their partner and/or children.
Applications should be submitted as a single PDF file and include a curriculum vitae, a publication list (with publications relevant to the project highlighted), a short abstract and a proposal of the proposed project (5 pages max.). We strongly encourage applications from life scientists.
Joint proposals from two or more scientists who plan to pursue an interdisciplinary collaborative project in Greifswald are welcome. Applicants for a Senior Fellowship are encouraged to consider the combination of a sabbatical term, granted by their home institution, together with a six-month-fellowship from the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg.
It is expected that applications show how the planned project strengthens the research foci of the University of Greifswald and promotes science and research at the academic location of Greifswald.
Applications for the academic year 2024/25 will be accepted until August 31, 2023 and should be addressed to the academic director Professor Dr. Ulla Bonas. If you have any questions about the Fellowship program, please contact the academic manager of the institute, Dr. Christian Suhm, or the assistant for the Fellowship program, Celia Baron M.Sc. Please note that not all email and telephone enquiries will be able to be answered by the staff during the last week of the 3-month application period.
