CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: SOFJA KOVALEVSKAJA AWARD

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: SOFJA KOVALEVSKAJA AWARD, JULY 31 DEADLINE

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation's Sofja Kovalevskaja Award,
which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, is
granted to young exceptionally promising researchers from abroad in
recognition of outstanding academic achievements. The award is
designed to enable them to embark on academic careers in Germany by
establishing their own junior research groups at research institutions
in Germany.

Scientists and scholars from abroad whose previous research has
already been internationally recognised as outstanding and who are
expected to continue producing outstanding results as recipients of
the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award are eligible to submit applications.

The programme is open to scientists and scholars from all countries
and disciplines who completed their doctorates with distinction less
than six years ago. The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation particularly
welcomes applications from qualified, female junior researchers.

Virtually unaffected by administrative constraints, the award winners
will be able to concentrate on high-level, innovative research work of
their own choice in Germany and thus strengthen the
internationalisation of research in Germany. The award amount will
allow the winners to finance their own junior research group at the
university or non-university research institution of their choosing in
Germany and also cover their living expenses.
