for Scholars from Africa, Asia and Latin America
Up to 5 (post-)doctoral stipends are available for up to 3 months (with justification for up to 4 months) and are based at the Zukunftskolleg. The start date is between September 1st, 2020 and October 1st, 2020. Deadline for applications is 28 February 2020.
The Zukunftskolleg Konnect Fellowships support early career researchers from Africa, Asia and Latin America related to one of the thirteen departments of the University of Konstanz. As a ZUKOnnect Fellow, you can use this time to extend your research networks and to get to know the research environment at the University of Konstanz, without losing your ties to your home university. As these fellowships can build a first bridge to the German and European academic system, we also encourage doctoral students in their last year to apply. The Zukunftskolleg will not offer employment contracts for ZUKOnnect Fellows.
The Zukunftskolleg is an Institute for Advanced Study (IAS). It offers fellowships as well as a diverse support network to
promote the independence of early career researchers. Researchers at the postdoctoral level perform research without
administrative constraints and have the freedom to engage in meaningful exchange with other up-and-coming colleagues
and with distinguished senior researchers. Scholars in the humanities, social and natural sciences come to Konstanz from
across the world to perform first-class research. The Zukunftskolleg is a keystone in the University of Konstanz's
institutional strategy to promote top-level research. The University of Konstanz has been successful in the German
Excellence Initiative and Excellence Strategy since 2007.
