Junior Scientists

If you do want to research, you need resources: knowledge, time, technology, critical reflection, opportunities to discuss your ideas etc. – so identify your needs! Here, you find some information and advice – but please tell us what needs to be added sekretariat.baer@rewi.hu-berlin.de.

Advice

Prof. Baer supervises work (dissertations, Master-theses) and hosts international visitors who work in gender studies and in law, particularly (comparative) constitutional law, (critical) legal theory, law and society and cultural studies of law, antidiscrimination law, theories of gender and questions of intersectionality, transdisciplinarity, legal and political aspects of gender studies.

If you are interested in such a collaboration, please send the following information to: sekretariat.baer@rewi.hu-berlin.de

We will arrange an opportunity to meet Prof. Baer based on such documents.

Money

There are some possibilities for younger or junior scientists to receive funding for projects of your own. You may consider applying for individual funding (scholarships, e.g. in a Graduate School, or fellowships) or for money for a project (funding for a job with the university, “Drittmittelprojekt”, or for a job to organize a conference etc.) or for applying as or in a team (e.g. “Nachwuchsgruppe”).

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft provides funding for graduate schools at different universities. Your research may match the respective graduate school. There is an age limit for applicants, which has not been subject to legal review as potential age (and gender) discrimination.

In addition, some foundations fund doctoral work, also from non-Germans.

Private foundations can be found in the Stiftungsindex. See for general information also the website of the Humboldt University.
