How to get a host for a postdoc in Germany?

Рет қаралды 4,993

Strategies for getting a host professor for a postdoctoral researcher or postdoctoral fellow position in Germany are discussed. This applies to the Humboldt, DAAD, DFG, Max Planck and other German funded postdoctoral research opportunities. Anyone who wants to do postdoctoral studies in Germany will find the process of getting a host quite onerous. A doctoral program which leads to a PhD, doctor of philosophy or doctorate degree is needed to pursue postdoctoral studies. A postdoctoral fellowship in Germany can boost your CV or curriculum vitae and help you get a lucrative faculty position or professor job at a top university or research institute.

Dr. Ganguli, you are doing a great job. Following your several videos, I wrote an email to a professor in Germany for the Humboldt postdoc fellowship (just only one ). She replied by accepting me and agreeing to be the host supervisor. Thanks a million for the proper guidance.

Thank you so much sir. I also feel that post-doc in Germany is top notch and they also provide for the parents. Wish you and your students good luck for 2023. My PhD pre-submission is in Dec 2023 (health psychology) and I'm looking for a Postdoc in a good lab. Your suggestions are helping me a lot. In my research papers, I make sure that I do a world review and refer to all top researchers in my area as suggested by you in the previous video. thanks again for the great content and guidance. Wish you well always! regards Devendra

Vielen Dank, Dr. Ganguli für die nützliche Information! What does "felloship" mean? My son finished his PhD in Artificial Intelligence applicated to images and he is searching a post doctoral in Germany or other country in order to apply his deep knowledge and adquire new one. Greetings from Spain.

Fellowship provides funding for a period of study or research for a scholar. Your son can apply for the Humboldt fellowship for example. This will pay him a monthly stipend, travel cost, etc to work at a university on a research problem of his choice.

@Drganguli 9 ай бұрын

For fellowships like the Humboldt you first need to find a host and write a proposal which he approves of and then submit your application to the Humboldt foundation on their web portal. If you get the fellowship both you and your host will be informed.

Okay, as you say. Humboldt is very prestigious fellowship for postdoc but fellowship is only 2680 💶 ie almost 2.4 laks however any fellowship in US generally gives arround 5 lakhs=5600 usd/pm. I know Humboldt has many other advantages but still, it is low

@@cashkumar8237 Yes what you say is true. 15-20 years ago, it was still around 2000 or so. But at that time this amount was good especially for Indians. Other postdocs may pay more.

I should add that Humboldt is willing to fund all types of proposals so it is good for these in narrow areas of research which don’t get much popular funding. But in us most postdoc funds are in hot areas like life sciences and others are restricted to us citizens due to their being close to defence industry. Most us professors are reluctant to fund postdocs unless they bring their own money through some grant like Fulbright etc. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bqtlosuF1avZk2g.htmlsi=WS7EimFDZffOKaNu kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdZontai08Cqc6c.htmlsi=wQlEU2R4iV1JGk6l
