Research Opportunities Week: Start a postdoc career at TUM

Once a year the Technical University of Munich (TUM) selects 50 young scientists from all over the world and invites them to the Research Opportunities Week in Munich. During this week, the participants have the opportunity to visit different research facilities at TUM, to meet Professors of their disciplines, to inform themselves about possible postdoc funding opportunities in Germany and to create a scientific network. The Postdoc Mobility Travel Grant funds the stay in full. After the ROW, participants get the exclusive chance to apply for the attractive TUM University Foundation Fellowship (TUFF) and to spend a year as a postdoc at TUM.

You may apply for a fully financed travel grant if you:

have completed a PhD within the last 3 years (counting from the month of the Research Opportunities Week) at an institution other than TUM (i.e. if you have done your PhD at TUM, you are not eligible to apply)
or have submitted your PhD thesis at an institution other than TUM (for your application you will need a certificate proving this)
or are going to submit your PhD thesis within the next 12 months (for your application you will need a statement from your supervisor confirming this)
have completed a PhD in one of the research fields listed on TUM Facilities, TUM Clusters of Excellence,TUM Integrative Research Centers, or TUM International School of Science and Engineering
are not currently living in Germany (applicants of German nationality or those who have previously lived in Germany are still welcome to apply, given that they are applying from abroad)
