 Job description

The Zukunftskolleg is a central scientific institution of the University of
Konstanz for the promotion of young researchers in the natural sciences,
humanities and social sciences, and is an integral component of the
institutional strategy “Model Konstanz — Towards a Culture of Creativity.”
The Zukunftskolleg forms a platform for interdisciplinary discourse between
distinguished researchers in Germany and abroad, and provides them with
resources for obtaining extramural funding.

The Zukunftskolleg of the University of Konstanz offers up to *six (6) ZIF
Marie Curie 2-year Postdoctoral Fellowships (any discipline represented at
the University of Konstanz) (Salary Scale 13 TV-L)* to develop and
implement individual research projects. This call for applications is part
of the Zukunftskolleg Incoming Fellowship Program (ZIF) and is financed by
the Seventh Framework Program (FP7) Marie Curie Actions – People
(co-funding of regional, national and international programs), the German
Research Foundation (DFG) and the University of Konstanz. The rules and
ethical principles for the FP7 and the DFG guidelines apply.

Marie Curie Fellowships are available to researchers regardless of their
nationality and field of research. They are intended to encourage the
transnational mobility of top-level researchers in order to integrate them
within the European research area.


*The Fellowships will begin on February 1, 2016, and end on January 31,
2018.*

The Zukunftskolleg provides a professional infrastructure and an
appropriate workplace for conducting research. Fellows have the opportunity
to benefit from a variety of career development measures, including the
University of Konstanz’s Academic Staff Development and Research Support
offices. Fellows may nominate recognized experts in their field of research
as senior Fellows, who will be invited to Konstanz for a research stay of
one to nine months. Each Postdoctoral Fellow receives a mobility allowance
and a research allowance. Furthermore, a pool is available for funding
cooperative projects, research assistants, travel, and equipment purchases.
Each Fellow is a member of both a university department and the
Zukunftskolleg. A Mentoring Committee supports each Fellow in her / his
career development. This committee consists of an experienced researcher
from the Fellow’s research field within the university department, as well
as an advanced Research Fellow of the Zukunftskolleg.

The target group consists of excellent researchers at the postdoctoral
level, leadership abilities and a capacity for teamwork, so that they can
reasonably be expected to take up leading roles in academia.

   Program (FP7) ethical principles. For advice, please see the CORDIS website
   on ethics (http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ethics_en.html) and contact the
   Zukunftskolleg office. If a proposed project that has passed the peer
   review stage raises any ethical issues, it is forwarded for review by the
   University of Konstanz Ethics Committee.

Fellows have an opportunity to teach. They are expected to participate
actively in the regular weekly meetings of the Zukunftskolleg and to have
their place of residence in Konstanz.
Fellows are selected on the basis of their academic excellence, the quality
