The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies is offering individual FCFP fellowships for the academic year 2023/24.

Up to 15 FCFP fellowships are available to researchers from all nationalities and disciplines.

Junior Fellows must apply for this option eight months into their fellowship.

In general, all fellowships will be awarded to individuals with challenging and innovative research projects of top academic quality through a highly competitive, strictly merit-based selection process (expected success rate: ~15% of eligible applications). The all-important selection criterion is the academic excellence of both the applicant and the project proposal. Personal qualifications with regard to experience and capability to conduct the research project will also be taken into account during the evaluation of the applications.
