Research opportunities in Germany

Posted: 08 March 2012 8:29 am

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.
