Caroline von Humboldt Professorship 2023

The Caroline von Humboldt Professorship is awarded to excellent female professors of all disciplines at HU who hold permanent positions and who distinguish themselves by their international reputation, the relevance of their research results beyond their own discipline, and their outstanding publication activity.

The professorship is associated with a one-year financial support of 80,000 euros, which can be used flexibly as support for the further career, especially as start-up funding for a research project (material resources, personnel, etc.). Proposals from all disciplines will be considered. The nomination for the professorship can be made by the deans, the institute directors, as well as other members of Humboldt-Universität.

Caroline von Humboldt Award 2022

The Caroline von Humboldt Award was granted for the first time in 2010. It is Humboldt University's first research award given exclusively to women, and it is one of the highest endowed awards of its kind in Germany.

The award is given to an excellent postdoctoral researcher from Germany or abroad as a distinction for her scientific achievements and successes to date and serves to support a scientific project. The award money is intended to enable the award winner to carry out a research project as part of a research stay at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ("scientist in residence").

 

Further information can be found here in the call for applications and flyer.

Applications must be submitted electronically and in German or English by April 30, 2022 at: cvh-prize@hu-berlin.de.
