Postdoctoral fellows
Postdoctoral Fellowships at the University of Hamburg
The University of Hamburg was awarded funding for 4 clusters of excellence in the Excellence Strategy of the Federal and State Governments. It was also declared a University of Excellence. As part of its Excellence application, the University is awarding postdoctoral fellowships to especially qualified early career researchers from Germany and abroad. The funding program gives early career researchers an opportunity to lead their own research project in preparation for the next step in their career, for example an appointment to a junior professorship, a W2 professorship, or leading a junior research group.
Research associates apply by proposing their own research project. This should have links with one of the University of Hamburg’s emerging fields:
- Health Economics
- Kidney Health
- Law in Global Contexts
- The Early Modern World
- Grounds, Norms, Decisions
The Hamburg Research Academy supports postdoctoral fellows on their career paths with an array of services. The deadline for the 2024 call for applications has ended.
