Georg Forster Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers

Submit an application if you are a researcher from abroad with above
average qualifications, at the beginning of your academic career and
only completed your doctorate in the last four years. A Georg Forster
Research Fellowship for postdoctoral researchers allows you to carry
out a long-term research project (6-24 months) you have selected
yourself in cooperation with an academic host you have selected
yourself at a research institution in Germany.

Scientists and scholars from all disciplines from developing and
threshold countries (excluding People's Republic of China and India)
may apply to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation directly at any
time. The research proposal must address issues of significant
relevance to the future development of your country of origin and, in
this context, promise to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and
methods to developing and threshold countries.
