LMU Munich Research Fellowships
The Incoming LMU Research Fellowships are directed at outstanding international junior researchers from all fields of research. They are designed to promote the career development of early-career postdoctoral researchers by fostering their mobility and supporting them in developing their academic profile.
We offer you ideal conditions to carry out your own independent research project. You will be provided with a workplace within one of our Faculties and may also become involved in teaching. During the entire period of the fellowship, you will be supported by a professor from LMU who will function as your mentor. As a member of the Young Center, you will also be associated with the Center for Advanced Studies.
