Postdoc Fellowships

The Focus Program Translational Neurosciences (FTN) is awarding a three-year scholarship for postgraduates in the field of natural sciences. An exception may be made for candidates from the field of medicine.

Please note, as a FTN fellow you are requested to conclude adequate insurance cover. The FTN-fellowship does not include comprehensive accident and liability insurance (Unfall- and Haftpflichtversicherung) for accidental damage or third party liability damage claims (Unfall- und Haftpflichtschäden) at work. You can find more information here.

The International Office of the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz inform you here about insurances.
