CeNS Investment Fund
To promote the scientific independence of postdoctoral researchers, CeNS is launching research grants up to € 8,000. With the CeNS Investment Fund, outstanding postdoctoral researchers at CeNS/LMU will be supported. Applications of female researchers are especially encouraged.
The awardees will be selected by the CeNS board according to the following criteria:
- innovative and creative nature of the candidate's work
- interdisciplinary character of the candidate's work
- potential shown by the candidate as a future leader in nanoscience
Submission guideline:
Applications should be sent to Susanne Hennig.
