Postdoc Fund

The PCMO seeks to support postdocs at Justus Liebig University Giessen in sharing current scientific findings with their scientific community, extending and strengthening their network and expanding their qualifications within and beyond their discipline. We therefore grant financial support for participation in scientific conferences as well as individual further education and training measures to promote your academic career (e.g. courses or individual consultations). The decisive factor for funding is the benefit for the applicant’s scientific career development as well as the fit with their current or future research and career profile.

You are not sure if your project fits the guidelines? Do you have questions about the application form or about the required documents? You are not sure whether a benefit you requested falls under the ban on combining funding?  

We can answer you these and more questions. Feel free to call us (Diana Hitzke, +49 641 99-12355) or send us an .
