Junior professorships usually do not have their own research budget. At the same time, it is expected that own research achievements will be made in the course of the junior professorship. Junior professors can submit applications to this sub-fund. The funding can be used for basic equipment (often a funding requirement with other funding bodies), but can also be used to orient one's own research work towards cooperation with other scientists at RPTU. Emmy-Noether-junior-research-group leaders are also eligible to apply.
Application volume
Up to 20.000€ for the duration of the junior professorship.
The funding amount can be distributed among several applications over the period of the junior professorship. It is not possible to take the funds to other universities and research institutions, e.g. in the event of an appointment.
Application documents:
Please submit a meaningful research concept for the period of the junior professorship, including information on plans for applications to third-party funding bodies (DFG, etc.). In addition, information on the connection to existing research priorities at the university as well as planned collaborations should be presented.
In the case of Emmy-Noether-junior-research-groups, a copy of the DFG's award decision should also be enclosed.
Please indicate a Kostenstelle (TG 71, no third-party funding account) to which the funds are to be allocated.
