Visiting Fellows

The DFG Collaborative Research Centre “SFB/TRR 138: Dynamics of Security" offers at least three visiting fellowships per year for excellent young researchers. The fellowships are available for a period of three to six months, usually either starting in September or October (CfA published in May/Juin of any year).
The fellowships are aimed at late-stage doctoral candidates and early career scholars.  We offer a monthly grant of 1,500 Euro as well as a travel grant for traveling expenses to and from Marburg/Gießen at the beginning and end of the stay. Visiting fellows are expected to contribute to the discussions and activities of our graduate school and to actively participate in workshops and seminars. This also includes a presentation of current research in one of the seminars, as well as the drafting of a report on research results once the stay is over.
