High Profile Area at the

MMMIGS Proposal Grants

For specific application projects in funding lines such as the DFG Research Training Groups or the MSCA Doctoral Networks, MMMIGS provides personnel funds for temporary financing a postdoc position. Members of the high-profile area Minds, Media, Machines are eligible to apply for a MMMIGS Proposal Grant if they have a leading role in an application project with the aim to raise funds for a structured doctoral program.

Conditions

Funding may be requested for up to three month of a full-time position for a postdoctoral researcher. It is also possible to divide the times and apply for funding for half a position for six months, for example. Due to the short duration of the funded position, and because the financing is realized through a rebooking, the postdoc whose position is to be financed must already be employed by the University of Bremen.

The application must state which tasks the postdoc is to take on as part of the application, how he or she is to be integrated into the planned doctoral program and at what time and in which funding line the submission is planned. Applications for a MMMIGS Proposal Grant can be submitted at any time, but we recommend contacting the MMMIGS coordinator in advance to confirm eligibility and availability of funding. If third-party funds are successfully raised, the funded doctoral program automatically becomes a member program of MMMIGS.
