Recruiting excellent researchers & building successful careers
The Freiburg Rising Stars Academy combines the interests of the Freiburg scientific community and the international target group of experienced top-level doctoral and postdoctoral researchers (R1 – R2), the prospective Rising Stars, by offering:
- International exchange with an interdisciplinary peer group
- Mentoring by established and leading researchers in a variety of fields
- Recruitment opportunities for early career researchers
- Networking with top-level collaborative research groups and Clusters of Excellence
- Sharing of ideas and development of new research projects within a support structure
Scientifically, the FRSA draws on excellent research collaborations and institutes at the University of Freiburg as well as its manifold partners within the region.
Interested in becoming one of the next Rising Stars?
We invite PhD students and young scientists with an international background to apply to our porgram.
We offer two different tracks to apply for admission to the Freiburg Rising Stars Academy:
- If you choose Track 1, you will apply directly for collaboration with one of our Host Principle Investigators (Host-PI) who hail from a variety of partner institutions, such as Clusters of Excellence, collaborative research centres and research groups of all disciplines.
- Some of our partner institutions offer Track 2, which is a topic-based application. Track 2 is ideal, if you are generally interested in the research areas the prospective Host Institutions represent and you would like to propose novel ideas and projects that extend on or are based on the work undertaken at the Host Institution.
