RCSC Workshop | Research Funding after the PhD: The DFG Grant Application (Eigene Stelle)
16.05.2023, 13:00-16:00 | GCSC (SR 109)
Dr. Alexander Scherr (postdoctoral researcher at the Department of English, JLU, and associated postdoc at GCSC) will hold a workshop on May 16th, with the aim to introduce the Eigene Stelle as a funding scheme for postdocs and to provide practical guidance for the application process. Attendees who are already working on a DFG application are welcome to join, as are postdocs and advanced PhD candidates who consider doing so as a future possibility. For more information, please contact Prof. Dr. Jan Rupp (RCSC).17.01.2023, 14:00-17:00
The Eigene Stelle – a DFG grant – is an attractive (albeit competitive) funding option for researchers after the PhD. It is attractive not only because it can serve to finance an individual position (for example, for a postdoctoral researcher) for at least 3 years. Its appeal is also due to the fact that successful funding applications are a major asset on the academic job market and increasingly important for researchers who consider a professorial career.The workshop aims to introduce the Eigene Stelle as a funding scheme and provide practical guidance for the application process. Attendees who are already working on a DFG application are welcome to join, as are postdocs and advanced PhD candidates who consider doing so as a future possibility.

Building on a strong track record in the study of culture, the newly-devised Research Centre for the Study of Culture (RCSC) offers a space for creative thinking and work with a view to mobilizing collaborative research projects. The RCSC Opening Symposium will feature presentations and exchange around a range of current and prospective research initiatives.
As a new venture, the RCSC is an extension of the GCSC, building on the latter’s status as a research centre of national and international reknown. Now combined under one roof, the GCSC/RCSC simultaneously serves as a dynamic hub and interface for the area of potential “Culture–Conflict–Security (Focus: Eastern Europe)” within JLU’s research strategy “The Liebig Concept”.
As an inaugural event, the RCSC’s Opening Symposium will look to promote dialogue and engender further collaboration in the study of culture (working languages: English and German). Presentations will include “Konfliktgemeinschaften” (“Communities of Conflict”, initiative for collaborative research centre) and “Formen guten Lebens. Literatur als Archiv, Kritik und Laboratorium” (“Forms of the Good Life: Literature as Archive, Critique and Laboratory”, projected research group).
We look forward to welcoming you!
