It brings together researchers from the natural sciences, humanities and social sciences and is designed to give early-career scholars the independence, institutional resources, interdisciplinary networks and professional development opportunities needed to establish their own research profiles.</p> <p data-start="910" data-end="1391">For the 2026 call, the Zukunftskolleg is recruiting <strong data-start="962" data-end="1017">four Postdoctoral Fellows for two-year appointments</strong>. The positions are <strong data-start="1037" data-end="1078">full-time and remunerated at E13 TV-L</strong>, the German public-sector academic salary scale. The preferred starting date is <strong data-start="1159" data-end="1175">1 April 2027</strong>. Under certain conditions, the fellowship may be extended for an additional year when the Fellow has submitted an external grant application intended to fund their own position.</p> <p data-start="1393" data-end="1847">The opportunity is open across academic disciplines represented at the University of Konstanz. Applicants must propose an independent research project that can be appropriately affiliated with a University department. The call is particularly intended for excellent early-career researchers who demonstrate scientific excellence, research independence, teamwork and strong potential for a successful academic career.</p> <p data-start="1849" data-end="2104">The <strong data-start="1853" data-end="1936">application deadline is 12 October 2026 at 11:00 AM Central European Time (CET)</strong>.

English is the working language of the Zukunftskolleg.</p> <p data-start="2909" data-end="3100">This structure can be especially valuable for researchers who have completed their doctorates and are now seeking to transition from doctoral work toward a more independent scholarly profile.</p> <h2 data-section-id="jfjc58" data-start="3102" data-end="3151">Four 2-Year Postdoctoral Fellowships Available</h2> <p data-start="3153" data-end="3177">The current call offers:</p> <p data-start="3179" data-end="3221"><strong data-start="3179" data-end="3221">Four two-year Postdoctoral Fellowships</strong></p> <p data-start="3223" data-end="3251">The positions are full-time.</p> <p data-start="3253" data-end="3302">The official vacancy classifies the positions as:</p> <p

commonly used for academic research positions at public universities.</p> <p data-start="3489" data-end="3651">The official call does not provide a single fixed euro amount because remuneration under TV-L depends on the applicable salary stage and employment circumstances.</p> <p data-start="3653" data-end="3812">Applicants should therefore describe the opportunity as a <strong data-start="3711" data-end="3754">salaried E13 TV-L postdoctoral position</strong>, rather than assigning an unofficial fixed annual salary.</p> <h2 data-section-id="1s7ebxw" data-start="3814" data-end="3840">Preferred Starting Date</h2> <p data-start="3842" data-end="3870">The preferred start date is:</p> <p data-start="3872" data-end="3888"><strong data-start="3872" data-end="3888">1 April 2027</strong></p> <p data-start="3890" data-end="3940">The normal initial fellowship period is two years.</p> <p data-start="3942" data-end="3990">The call also creates a possible pathway toward:</p> <p data-start="3992"

data-start="4285" data-end="4315">Possibility of a Third Year</h2> <p data-start="4317" data-end="4461">The initial fellowship is for two years, but the Zukunftskolleg actively encourages Fellows to pursue external funding during their appointment.</p> <p data-start="4463" data-end="4752">According to the programme information, Postdoctoral Fellows who submit an external funding or grant application covering their own position can potentially receive support for <strong data-start="4640" data-end="4674">one additional fellowship year</strong> while waiting for the funding decision.</p> <p data-start="4754" data-end="4931">This makes the fellowship not only a two-year research opportunity but also a platform for developing the external funding record required for longer-term academic independence.</p> <h2 data-section-id="95c3up" data-start="4933" data-end="4957">Full-Time Appointment</h2> <p data-start="4959" data-end="4988">The advertised positions are:</p>

data-end="5974">PhD Eligibility Window</h1> <p data-start="5976" data-end="6093">One of the most important eligibility requirements concerns the date on which the applicant received their doctorate.</p> <p data-start="6095" data-end="6160">Normally, applicants must hold a doctoral degree granted between:</p> <p data-start="6162" data-end="6202"><strong data-start="6162" data-end="6202">30 September 2024 and 1 October 2026</strong></p> <p data-start="6204" data-end="6352">This means the fellowship is specifically targeted at researchers at a very early postdoctoral career stage.</p> <h2 data-section-id="133ex08" data-start="6354" data-end="6393">Exceptions to the Doctoral-Date Rule</h2> <p data-start="6395" data-end="6471">Earlier PhD completion dates may

data-start="6550" data-end="6589"> <p data-start="6591" data-end="6760">Candidates whose doctorate falls outside the normal eligibility period but who believe one of these exceptions applies should consult the formal call and FAQs carefully.</p> <h1 data-section-id="yui0is" data-start="6762" data-end="6795">Maximum Postdoctoral Experience</h1> <p data-start="6797" data-end="6985">In practical terms, the eligibility period means the call is directed toward researchers with approximately <strong data-start="6905" data-end="6958">no more than two years of postdoctoral experience</strong> under the normal timeline.</p> <p data-start="6987" data-end="7118">The focus is therefore firmly on scholars transitioning from doctoral study into the early stages of independent academic research.</p> <h1 data-section-id="1l5fagq" data-start="7120" data-end="7159">Permanent Professors Are Not Eligible</h1> <p data-start="7161" data-end="7185">Applicants must <strong data-start="7177"

data-start="7535" data-end="7747">Researchers who already have their own position funded through another programme may still be eligible if that funding can be <strong data-start="7661" data-end="7706">transferred to the University of Konstanz</strong>.</p> <p data-start="7749" data-end="7925">This allows the Zukunftskolleg to accommodate certain candidates who bring portable

data-start="7954" data-end="8058">One of the strongest features of the Zukunftskolleg Postdoctoral Fellowship is its disciplinary breadth.</p> <p data-start="8060" data-end="8122">Applicants must

<p data-start="8185" data-end="8224"> <p data-start="8226" data-end="8278">The programme is therefore not limited to one field.</p> <p data-start="8280" data-end="8319">Potential applicants may come

data-end="8886">The purpose is to ensure that the proposed project has an appropriate institutional and disciplinary affiliation.</p> <p data-start="8888" data-end="8951">This is an important
