Postdoctoral scholarship for women at TU Ilmenau

The post-doctoral scholarship program strengthens the promotion of young women in the transition from a doctorate to an academic career. The scholarship promotes independent research and the acquisition of teaching experience. In the form of individual support, it offers the opportunity to define one's own research topic and to further develop one's academic personality. A special feature of the funding at the TU Ilmenau is to support young female scientists in networking and thus strengthen their visibility in their specialist community. The scholarship holders are encouraged to make active contact with other groups in their field. Partnerships that are currently being established are to be expanded and deepened. In this way, the TU Ilmenau aims to offer a career springboard.

Details of the program can be found here.
