The Joachim Herz Stiftung offers Add-On Fellowships for Interdisciplinary Life Sciences. The funding is aimed at PhD students and postdocs working on interdisciplinary research questions at the interfaces between life sciences and physics, computer science, mathematics, engineering and related research fields. For example, biologists can immerse themselves in mathematics and modelers in the life sciences.

With the Add-on Fellowship, postdocs and doctoral students receive financial support of up to 12,500 euros over a period of two years. In addition, the foundation supports the work-life balance of fellows with children with up to 3,000 euros. The funding can be used flexibly and individually. For example, for:

• Participation in research stays, conference visits, further training or events.
• Acquisition of special tools (e.g. hardware or software)
• Data acquisition or collection
• Science communication activities
• Participation in fellowship meeting

PhD students and postdocs who are employed at a university or non-profit research institution in Germany or whose research is otherwise funded there (e.g. via a full scholarship) are eligible to apply.

Deadline for applications is 06 June 2023. Please read the full tender and guidelines of submussion here.
