To promote excellent academics who are at the beginning of their independent research career, Bielefeld University offers 2 “ERC preparative Fellowships” in form of research associate positions for external researchers who are currently not employed at Bielefeld University.

These positions will offer successful candidates the opportunity to further develop their independent research and to prepare their ERC Starting grant application with Bielefeld University as host institution. The development of an individual research profile and relevant academic skills is considered part of this process.
