Research opportunities in Germany
The Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation offers fellowships to young scholars (no more than twelve years from attaining the Ph.D.) to be held in Germany for anywhere from 6 to 18 months. The monthly minimum amount is 2450 Euros with additional amounts for spouse and child(ren), for research costs, and for some travel. Fellowship holders choose their own project, but need a professor at a German university to sponsor them.
If this is something you might consider, please come to an information meeting at the Administrative Services Building, Rm 120 on Friday, March 16 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m.
Should this time not be convenient for you, please get in touch with Dr. Gernot Wieland at gernot.wieland@ubc.ca or at 604-822-5749.
Dr. Wieland, a professor in the English Department at UBC and former Humboldt Fellowship recipient.
If you are planning on attending, please RSVP to resprog3@uvic.ca.
