Individual career development at the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law
Individual career development at the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law
As part of the targets for increasing the proportion of women in academia, the faculty has funds available to support career development measures for young female researchers at the faculty.
After completing her doctoral degree, each researcher determines her own career path. To ensure that we can provide targeted support, female researchers can apply for individual career development funding.
Scope
Funding may be awarded up to a maximum of €2,000 per person per year and a maximum of €5,000 over the entire term of the target agreements until the end of 2027.
Use
The funds can be used according to individual needs, for example to finance student/research assistants, interim financing, material resources, empirical research, participation in continuing education/professional development measures, or attendance at conferences.
Target group
Funding is intended for female postdoctoral researchers, habilitation candidates and assistant professors not on the tenure track.
From July to December each year, advanced female doctoral candidates can also apply for individual career support.
How to apply
The application should be submitted to the Associate of the Officers for equal opportunities for women in science and the arts at the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law (wiso-frauenbeauftragte@fau.de) and should include:
- An outline of your research project including a rough timetable (approx. 2 pages)
- specific information on what the funding is to be used for, including a detailed cost breakdown in tabular form
- An academic CV, including a list of publications if applicable
- Doctoral Candidates
- A brief description of the current stage of your doctorate
- For business travel:
- Please submit form R0001 signed by you and your supervisor / head of institute. It serves to record the relevant data and will not be forwarded to the travel cost center. You can therefore leave the fields (Kapitel, Titel, AOSt-Nr.) under “Buchungsstelle” blank: https://www.intern.fau.de/personal-und-arbeitsleben/weg-zur-arbeit/dienst-und-fortbildungsreisen/#sprungmarke1
- Doctoral students: Please attach a letter to your documents stating whether no or limited travel funds are available through your chair/project
- If you are not working as a research assistant, please get in touch with the contact person for the funding measure
- Please note that no daily allowances/meal costs can be reimbursed within the framework of funding granted under the target agreements
Please note: The funding measure is paid out in the form of an advance payment. Bookings or purchases may only be made after successful application and receiving a written confirmation of funding!

Applications may be received at any time until the funding is exhausted.
