Term: 01 Oct. 2024 till 30 Sept. 2025
Deadline: 28 June 2024

For the fourth time, the Marsilius Kolleg is awarding its one-year "Young Marsilius Fellowships for Interdisciplinarity and Science Communication" (term: 01 Oct. 2024 till 30 Sept. 2025). Heidelberg postdoctoral researchers (up to 4 years after PhD) and advanced PhD students with a clear postdoc perspective are invited to apply by 28 June 2024.  

Key features of the Young Marsilius Fellowship Program (YMFP) are:

• Up to 12 one-year fellowships per year (starting in the winter semester)
• Target group: postdoctoral researchers (up to 4 years after PhD) and advanced PhD students with a clear postdoc perspective from all disciplines at Heidelberg University and local extra-university research institutions
• Languages: German and English; applicants should be able to follow lectures and discussions in both languages
• Manageable time commitment of the YM Fellows, training opportunities in science communication (Nature Marsilius Visiting Professorship) and focus on a common goal (final event)
• Budget: € 5,000 per fellowship to be used freely for own research and academic training
• The annual motto of the first call is "Right & Wrong". It is deliberately based on the 
  current issue of the research magazine “Ruperto Carola” (in German) and is very open to allow connections to all disciplines.

The administrative director of Marsilius-Kolleg, Mr. Just, is happy to answer any questions (just@mk.uni-heidelberg.de; Tel.: 06221 54 3981).
