The LMU Research Fellowship Program is directed at candidates from all fields of research who have recently completed their doctoral studies with outstanding results. The program is designed to promote the career development of early-career postdoctoral researchers and to support them in building international networks of collaboration. The LMU offers ten Incoming LMU Research Fellowships to outstanding international junior academics and five Outgoing LMU Research Fellowships to excellent early-career researchers with a doctorate from LMU Munich.

Incoming LMU Research Fellowship

The LMU Research Fellowship Program enables you to carry out your own independent research project and expand your academic profile: In addition to an attractive salary and a substantial research budget, you will be provided with a workplace within one of the LMU Faculties and may also become involved in teaching. During the entire period of your fellowship, you will be supported by a professor from LMU who will function as your mentor. As a member of the Young Center, you will also be associated with the Center for Advanced Studies and may make use of its various services.
Fellows must undertake research stays of 3 to 6 months at an international academic partner organization of their own choice, or collaborate with a non-academic partner organization as part of a cross-sectoral research project (funding for these collaborations is guaranteed).

Outgoing LMU Research Fellowship

The Outgoing LMU Research Fellowships are directed at outstanding junior researchers in all fields of research who are about to complete their doctorate at LMU, or have received a doctoral degree at LMU within the last twelve months. The Fellowships are designed to promote the career development of early-career postdoctoral researchers by fostering their mobility and supporting them in developing their academic profile.
As part of your project, you will undertake an initial 12-month research stay at an academic partner organization in a country outside of the European Union and return to LMU to complete your project.

The closing date for applications is 28 November 2018.
