Sofja Kovalevskaja Award



This is for non-germans to build up a research group in Germany, see below.





Dear Sir or Madam,



With the *Sofja Kovalevskaja Award*, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation
is offering promising young researchers from all over the world attractive
career prospects in Germany. *Junior research talents of all disciplines
from abroad* are given the opportunity to establish working groups of their
own at German research institutions. The Humboldt Foundation is delighted
to be able to contribute to the further internationalisation of Germany as
a research location with this distinguished award for top level academics.



The Sofja Kovalevskaja Award recognises outstanding talent and creative
research approaches with exceptional conditions: With an* award amount of
up to 1.65 million EUR *each winner receives valuable starting capital to
spend five years pursuing an innovative research project at a research
institute of his or her choice – untroubled by administrative constraints.
In addition, the establishment of their own junior research team enables
the award winners to lay an important foundation for a promising academic
career at a very early stage. Eight awards are expected to be granted. The
programme is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.



Outstandingly qualified junior academics of all disciplines from abroad who
completed their doctorate less than six years ago are eligible to apply for
the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award. It is also possible to submit applications
immediately after finishing one’s doctoral studies. *Applications must be
submitted by 31 July 2013*.



We should be grateful if you could support us in looking for suitable
international research talents by disseminating this announcement at your
institution. Also, we should very much appreciate if you could request
further colleagues to draw the attention of suitably talented junior
researchers to this academic award.



Details of the application procedure for the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award can
be found on our website at: www.humboldt-foundation.de/skp_en. For
individual questions, you are also welcome to contactinfo at avh.de.





Thank you very much in advance for your support.



Sincerely yours



Dr. Enno Aufderheide

Secretary General,

Alexander von Humboldt Foundation
