ERIKA-CREMER-HABILITATIONSPROGRAMM

OF THE UNIVERSITY OF INNSBRUCK

 

CALL FOR PROPOSALS 2023

 

In order to promote the integration of excellent female researchers into the scientific system and to ensure scientific excellence, the University of Innsbruck, on initiative of the Vice Rectorate for Human Resources, announces a career support programme for outstandingly qualified female researchers of all disciplines, who are aiming for a habilitation or are in the process of habilitation or ongoing habilitation procedures.

The programme is named after the physical chemist Erika Cremer (1900-1996). In memory of the great researcher who, despite her outstanding scientific achievements, was only appointed full professor of physical chemistry at the University of Innsbruck in 1959 and was appointed director of the Institute of Physical Chemistry, the University of Innsbruck promotes the careers of women in science.

A habilitation programme is offered in the form of a temporary position of up to 48 months. The applicant should be given the opportunity to concentrate on her habilitation project in order to bring it to a successful conclusion. Furthermore, the programme aims to integrate the applicant into the research area of the University of Innsbruck and to ensure her scientific presence at the respective institute. After completion of the funding, the qualification level of habilitation should be reached, which qualifies the applicant to apply for a domestic or foreign professorship. However, the award of an Erika Cremer position does not lead to a permanent position at the University of Innsbruck.

These can be applied for up to a maximum of EUR 15.000,00 per year. Of the project-specific costs, up to EUR 2.000,00 per year can be used for coaching or personnel development measures.
