Alexander von Humboldt Professorship

Added via Universitypositions.eu. Academics of all disciplines, who are internationally recognised as leaders in their field, are eligible to be nominated for an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship.

Every year, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation offers ten of the world’s leading researchers up to €5 million each to create new or consolidate existing internationally visible research focus areas at German universities.

Academics of all disciplines are eligible for an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship, provided that they are established abroad and recognised internationally as top-class researchers. They will be nominated by German universities – where appropriate in cooperation with non-university research i­nstitutions. Each Alexander von Humboldt Professorship will be sponsored for a period of five years on the premise that the university presents a convincing strategy to sustain the position once the funding period has come to an end.

The next deadline for applications is 15 April 2014. For more information please visit the grant advert.
