Postdoctoral researchers international mobility experience

Postdoctoral Researchers International Mobility Experience (P.R.I.M.E.)

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers a new funding programme — co-financed by the Marie Curie Programme of the European Commission — for outstanding postdoctoral researchers from all disciplines and nationalities: „Postdoctoral Researchers International Mobility Experience“ (P.R.I.M.E). The funding consists of salaries instead of scholarships.

Funding is provided for 18 months, in which 12 months have to be spent abroad and 6 months (re-integration phase) at a German university. The re-integration phase is mandatory. The German university administrates the salary during the whole funding period.

The application form will be available from March 1st 2014 at the application portal. To get to the portal please click on Stipendiendatenbank für Deutsche, fill in Fachrichtung (subject of your research), Zielland (country of the period abroad) and Status „Promovierte“ (position) and select the programme.

Please mind the instructions on registering on the portal, choose English as portal language and activate, if necessary, the compatibility view of your browser.

The deadline for applications ends March 31 st 2014.

Choosing the host institutions

The contact to the envisaged foreign host and to the German university must be established by the applicant. To get an overview of recent research topics and international cooperations of German Universities, we recommend the Research map provided by German Rectors’ Conference.

Hereafter please find a list of German universities, listed in alphabetical order, which already registered their interest in participating and which nominated a contact person, familiar with the programme guidelines. Other host universities are also possible.
