The Zukunftskolleg is a central scientific institution of the University of Konstanz for the promotion of young scientists in natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences and is an integral component of the institutional strategy "Modell Konstanz - towards a culture of creativity". The Zukunftskolleg forms a platform for interdisciplinary exchange between excellent researchers in Germany and abroad and provides young scientists resources for procuring external funding; any support is temporary.
In the Zukunftskolleg of the University of Konstanz,
5 post-doctoral fellowships
for the development and implementation of individual research projects are to be filled. The initial appointments begin May 1, 2008 and end October 31, 2009.
An extension for an additional 3.5-year period is intended, provided that external third-party funding has been granted. Each fellowship comprises the financing of the position (employment contract with the University of Konstanz, up to salary bracket 14 or 15 TV-L).
Prerequisites are a doctoral degree and outstanding scientific qualification documented by research activities and publications. Teaching or research experience abroad and a strong interest in interdisciplinary topics is desired. Each fellow is a member of both a department of the university and the Zukunftskolleg. Participation in teaching is possible. The expected thematic connection of the project to the research profile of the University of Konstanz should be shown. Active participation in the regular weekly meetings of the Zukunftskolleg as well as residence in Konstanz is expected.
The Zukunftskolleg provides a professional infrastructure and the work place required for research. A pool for the financing of cooperative projects, research travels, and acquisition of equipment is available. Furthermore, fellows can nominate experienced experts in their research field as senior fellows, who are invited to Konstanz for 3-12 months and who, in addition to their work in research and cooperative projects, advise young scientists of the Zukunftskolleg.
The selection of the fellows proceeds on the basis of the project outlines and a two-day workshop on March 31 through April 1, 2008 at the University of Konstanz.
