Join us
We try to get the best possible people to PAIR. If you want to join the team, as PhD student, postdoctoral researcher, or visitor, you are very welcome! However, we only take on PhD students if there is a position or fellowship for them (and we consider part-time study only under exceptional circumstances). We do not offer unpaid internships.
- Come for a position at PAIR (current and past offers below)
- Come as a visitor, e.g. with a PAIR Visiting Fellowship (or other funding, e.g. from your country/institution or a DAAD Visiting Fellowship)
- Come with funding that you have generated, e.g. a fellowship. If you are planning to apply for such funding, or already have funding secured, please get in touch with a CV and 1-page exposé to our Director of Research. Possible funding sources include:
Your home country & Institution.
Germany: A. v. Humboldt Research Fellowship, (& others), DAAD (also PRIME and another survey), DFG (from abroad: independent PI, Walter Benjamin, Georg Forster [developing countries], Emmy Noether)
EU: EU fellowships (global and European), EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowships (these awards are typically tax-free)
More opportunities can be found in the DAAD database and the overview “Research in Germany“. The responsible person for 3rd party funding at our faculty is Dr. Robert Fischer, who is happy to help.
