Unsolicited Applications

In conjunction with ongoing research projects, a small number of Visiting Scholars are invited to the MPIWG for stays ranging from several weeks to several months. In addition, scholars whose work is directly relevant to these research projects and who are supported by external funds may also apply to spend time working with one of the Institute's research units.

The number of such places for external applicants is extremely limited; they are awarded on the basis of the qualifications of the applicant and the fit of the proposed research to ongoing projects. Both junior (predocs, postdocs) and senior scholars may apply. Such applications should include: formal letter of application, stating dates of desired stay and source of funding; a curriculum vitae, including publication list; and a brief research proposal (maximum 1000 words) in which the relationship to an ongoing Institute project is made clear. Decisions will be made twice a year on the basis of the applications received since the previous deadline.

Applications should be sent by 1 October or 1 March to the office of the department or Research Group you wish to apply for:
