PostDoctoral Researchers

The Graduate School of Life Sciences (GSLS) supports talented early-career researchers in the critical transition between doctoral studies and independent research. By providing financial security, this funding allows postdocs to focus fully on advancing their projects, publishing results, and developing innovative approaches that enrich the scientific community.

For the GSLS, investing in postdocs means investing in the future of science. Funded postdocs bring in fresh perspectives, foster collaborations across disciplines, and contribute to the supervision and mentoring of doctoral candidates. They also enhance the international visibility and reputation of the Graduate School by driving high-quality research output and attracting further competitive funding.

Ultimately, postdoc funding ensures that excellent researchers can continue their academic careers, build networks, and establish themselves as independent scientists—benefiting not only the GSLS, but the wider scientific landscape.

The next call for applications for the Postdoc plus Funding will be announced on this homepage in due time.
