Research Group Programme - Call for Proposals 2010
The University of Freiburg (www.uni-freiburg.de) has been awarded for its institutional research strategy by the German Excellence Initiative. As part of this strategy, the Research Group Programme provides funding for frontier research in emerging research areas. With this programme the University of Freiburg intends to establish two new research groups in autumn 2010 and invites applications of highly qualified young investigators at postdoctoral level. Project proposals in all fields of research are eligible. Disciplines or research areas that are not yet represented at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (www.frias.uni-freiburg.de) will receive special attention. Future research should broaden and further strengthen existing research portfolios at the University of Freiburg and enhance the linkages to national and international research institutions and facilities. We are looking for young external candidates who have completed their doctoral studies with distinction and who have already demonstrated exceptional ability in research with an outstanding track record. The successful applicant is expected to build a strong junior research group and be experienced in acquiring external funding. Applications of highly qualified female researchers are particularly welcome. The group leader shall be appointed assistant professor ("W1 Juniorprofessur") with tenure track option. A successful female candidate can be offered the Bertha-Ottenstein-Professorship, in recognition of the first female professor in Freiburg. Funding of the research group will be provided by means of the German Excellence Initiative. The initial appointment will be for four years and can be extended to six years following successful evaluation. Applications including a cover letter, research proposal with envisaged local collaborators and institutions (15 pages maximum including an executive summary), a curriculum vitae with publication record, a description of prior research and research interests, as well as details of experience and interest in outreach should be sent directly to RG2010. ResearchGroupProgramme@pr.uni-freiburg.de. Applicants should also arrange for two or three references sent to the same address. Informal enquiries relating to this post may be directed to Dr. Frank Krüger, Science Support Centre (info.ResearchGroupProgramme@pr.uni-freiburg.de). Closing date for applications is 28 February 2010. Interviews will be held over 1 and 2 June 2010. Further information will be available at www.uni-freiburg.de/universitaet-en/exzellenz/exzellenzinitiative-en.
