Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers

The Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers supports highly-qualified international scientists and scholars from all disciplines who completed their doctorates less than 12 years ago and wish to spend extended periods of research in Germany. Candidates can come from any nation and are expected to have their own, clearly defined research profile, typically working at least at the level of assistant professor or junior research group leader or able to document independent research work over a number of years. The fellowship provides 3,200 EUR per month, offering candidates the opportunity to carry out their own long-term research projects (6 to 18 months) in cooperation with academic hosts of their choice at research institutions in Germany. The sponsorship entails extensive additional benefits including mobility allowance, insurance subsidies, travel expenses, language courses, family allowances, and research cost allowances. The fellowship may be flexibly divided into a maximum of 3 visits within a range of 3 years. About 450 Fellowships are awarded each year to post-doctoral or experienced researchers across all disciplines.
