Postdoc-Scholarships

Various postdoctoral scholarship formats are awarded annually at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. The calls for the funding year 2022/23 have ended; except for the current 2nd call for the Thuringian Programm.

The following scholarship formats have been available:

1. BAUHAUS-POSTDOC-SCHOLARSHIP for Alumni

The format is designed to enable outstanding postdocs who have graduated with an excellent doctorate from Bauhaus-Universität Weimar to advance their academic careers through a new research project.

  • For alumni who have completed their doctorate with excellence at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.
  • support for innovative ideas that take up and complement the research priorities of the faculties
  • The existing research priorities of the Bauhaus University are to be enriched sustainably and through an original approach.

Funding period: from April 2023 | duration 12 months

Funding: 2,000 euros per month

2. THURINGIAN PROGRAM for female postdocs

This Thuringian programme aims to contribute to increasing the number of female habilitation students and professors. The awarding of these scholarships is intended to make it easier for women to remain in the science system and flanks the federal and state programme for the promotion of young researchers, which was launched in 2017. The recruitment of excellent female researchers and artists and their support in developing an international reputation, gaining sound teaching experience and developing further interdisciplinary skills makes an important contribution to the individual promotion of female researchers and artists who have completed their doctorates. The scholarships awarded at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar enable post-doctoral researchers and artists to further advance their university careers through a new research project or a new artistic endeavour and, in the long term, to even better fulfil the hiring requirements for a scientific or artistic professorship, thus further increasing their chances of being appointed.  

Within the framework of a program for female post-doctoral researchers - the second program phase runs until 2025:

  • Start-up funding for the development of own research proposals or for the preparation of own artistic project proposals (6 months)
  • Full funding for own research projects or artistic projects in order to bring them to application maturity in common funding formats (12 months, if necessary extension by further 12 months)
  • Final funding for the finalization or publication of research projects or artistic projects (6 - max. 12 months)

Female applicants for the Thuringian Program should be professionally and organisationally connected to a subject area of the university, but do not have to be alumna of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.

Funding period: begin in April | 6 or 12 months

Funding: 2.000 euros per month

3. BRIDGE SCHOLARSHIP for female postdocs

Separate call for proposals for start-up funding for female postdocs to enter the postdoc or habilitation phase, financed from funds of the Professorinnenprogramm III (female professors programme)

Funding period: from April 2023 | duration up to 6 months

Funding: 2,000 euros per month
