early-career researchers career support

The Research Council of the Field of Focus 3 (FoF3) supports careers in the humanities and humanities scholars outside of the university. Specifically, a small group of PhD students, postdocs and science managers are being promoted in the profile-building measures of FoF 3 (Thematic Research Networks, Explorer Project).

In addition, Heidelberg University has an extensive and diverse range of measures for the promotion of young researchers. The Research Council is currently developing complementary measures that specifically address the needs of humanities scholars. Please watch this space for updates.
