CIDAS Fellowship 2026/2027 (apply by 5 Apr 2026)
The Campus Institute Data Science (CIDAS) is a central scientific unit of the Georg-August-University Göttingen. CIDAS promotes interdisciplinary exchange and activities among faculties and campus-wide in the field of data science. CIDAS offers fellowships to support outstanding young scientists on their path to scientific independence. In particular, the collaboration between methodological or theoretical researchers and applied scientists at the Göttingen Campus and within CIDAS should be promoted. It is assumed that fellows will apply for independent funding (e.g. Emmy Noether, ERC Starting Grant, or similar) within the funded period. Applications should clearly outline the applicant’s career prospects and the planned steps toward scientific independence and independent third-party funding.
Who can apply:
Outstanding young scientists who are in their early postdoc phase with an idea for their own research project in the field of Data Science. This can be in the fundamentals of Data Science, applied Data Science, or in the social science aspects of Data Science. The project should be a collaboration with at least one member of CIDAS. Other collaborations with groups outside CIDAS are also possible and encouraged. If the applicant is not already a CIDAS member, they will become members upon approval of the application. The funds are made available as application support for own third-party funded projects or a junior research group.
Submit your application by 5 April 2026 via cidas@uni-goettingen.de.
