The aim of this young researcher program is to promote excellent postdocs (except clinically active postdocs) with the career goal of being eligible for W2/W3 professorships. The program is aimed at postdocs with basic experience (at the earliest three years after completing their doctorate) who want to make an important career step within the university medicine in the fields of biomedicine and molecular medicine.
The program is designed for a total of six years with an interim evaluation after three years (3 + 3 years). The medical scientist positions are each funded with €100,000/year by the Medical Faculty. The supervising institution provides an additional €50,000/year. Up to three medical scientist positions can be funded.
