Together with the Johanna Quandt Young Academy @Goethe, Goethe University is launching a funding program with three funding lines for early career researchers. The call is aimed at advanced R2 and R3 researchers as well as advanced postdoctoral researchers.
The program’s goals include improving access to Goethe University’s infrastructure, supporting Open Access publications, and fostering international connections and academic exchange.
Funding Line: Research Infrastructure & Open Access
This funding line supports postdoctoral researchers and junior group leaders (advanced R2 and R3 researchers) at Goethe University.
Funding Line: International Liaison Fellowships
This funding line is designed for postdoctoral researchers and junior research group leaders (advanced R2 and R3 researchers) at Goethe University who are planning a research stay abroad or an international workshop with external cooperation partners.
Funding Line: International Visiting Fellowships
This funding line is for external international postdoctoral researchers and junior research group leaders who are strongly connected to Goethe University’s research areas. During their research stay in Frankfurt, fellows will be integrated into centers, institutes, or joint projects at the university.
Deadline for applications: March 1, 2026
